Why is the president brazenly lying about his public support? It’s not just about ego, it’s about the success of his political agenda.

Summary

Donald Trump falsely claimed he had approval ratings of 69% and 71%, despite no public poll supporting those figures.

Recent surveys from Pew, Quinnipiac, Gallup, and others place his approval below 50%, with some showing him underwater.

Trump has a history of dismissing unfavorable polls as “fake” and even sued a news organization over poll results.

Experts suggest his political success relies on maintaining the illusion of widespread support despite declining approval ratings.

    I’ll say that, at this point, you can’t even blame that fucking asshole. You can blame partisan media for not fact-checking this basic shit and having their dipshit viewers lap it up. It’s broken beyond repair.
