Trump Claim: 'We Are Winning In Every State We Polled'

President Donald Trump explained his dismissal of reports of poor polling numbers Wednesday morning during an Oval Office press gaggle. The NY Times reported that Trump told aides to deny internal polling that showed him Trailing to Biden in key states.

When asked by an unidentified reporter about potential concerns about internal polling Trump offered, “we have great internal polling, there were fake polls released by somebody that is — it is ridiculous.”

He then offered insight that runs counter to most every other report, saying “we are winning in every single state that we polled.
We’re winning in Texas very big,
in Ohio very big,
in Florida very big.”

He then added, “they were fake polls that were either put out by the corrupt media, much of the media in this country is corrupt.”

Internal White House polling has reportedly confirmed what many other polls have revealed: that in a head-to-head race with many Democratic candidates, Trump comes up with the short end of the stick.

Everything in the world that shows him for what he really is, is fake.

It's a wonder no one calls him on this.

Because I gotta tell you, Needy Amin, the American people really don't take your word for anything because you have no credibility.
