Trump: Fake polls that show him losing 2020 are intended to "suppress" MAGAt voter turnout



Trump lashes out against “fake polls” that show him losing the 2020 presidential race. The president accused the news media of pushing “fake polls” intended to “suppress” turnout among his supporters that show him losing the 2020 race in key states like Iowa and Pennsylvania.

“We’re going to win Texas by a lot,” Trump insisted. “We’re going to win Iowa by a lot. We’re going to win, I would say — Pennsylvania we’re going to do very well… They’re fake polls, just like the fake media here!”

Others claim it's propaganda to help him win.

It's almost as if no one really knows what the November 2020 results are.

Trump is really narrowing in on making himself the absolute authority for his cultists. "Everything is fake unless I tell you it's real, and then it will become fake when I change my mind."

And we can see this working with his 1/3rd of the base ... They nod their heads and agree that what he said was true a minute ago is now false just because he deemed it so.

These people are unreachable. Orwell was right-- they'll go along with any contradiction of reality that spews out of Trump's mouth: "We've always been at war with Eastasia!"
Only with him, it's "We've always been in love with North Korea!"

They are unreachable. What might be more fruitful is dealing with the "Always-GOP" group which will generally vote for him because he's got the (R) beside his name. Some of them don't actually like him much, in their heart of hearts, and might be open to the suggestion that he has to lose in 2020 in order to preserve the party.

Not sure about Texas or Iowa, but my state is not going to make the same mistake twice.
Chump does not have a friend in Pennsylvania.

At least horse's asses produce something useful, Trump doesn't.

The idea that the news media is putting out polls showing Trump losing in an effort to depress voter turnout among his supporters is just stupid. Wouldn't polls showing him losing inspire his supporters to go to the polls because they would know every vote is necessary?
