TRUMP COMPLAINS ABOUT POLLS SHOWING HE'S LEAST POPULAR PRESIDENT EVER

Source: Newsweek


BY TIM MARCIN ON 8/7/17 AT 9:45 AM

Hold on to your hats, folks, because this might shock you: President Donald Trump vented his anger online Monday morning. The leader of the free world, as he is wont to do, took to Twitter to share some of the things grinding his gears.

Trump posted about some of his usual gripes, fakes news (otherwise known as news that paints him in a bad light) being chief among them. Despite being in the midst of a more than two-week vacation at his Bedminster golf course, Trump also made sure to post that he was "working hard from New Jersey while White House goes through long planned renovation," which didn't directly mention Newsweek's recent viral cover depicting him as a lazy boy-king, but could be seen as a response of sorts.

Other tweets from Trump Monday morning were far angrier than the post claiming he was working in New Jersey.

After a standalone tweet railing against The New York Times, Trump posted a series of tweets stating: "The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling). Look at rallies in Penn, Iowa, Ohio and West Virginia. The fact is the Fake News Russian collusion story, record Stock Market, border security, military strength, jobs.....Supreme Court pick, economic enthusiasm, deregulation & so much more have driven the Trump base even closer together. Will never change! Hard to believe that with 24/7 #Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTIMES & WAPO, the Trump base is getting stronger!"

Did they radio anything about the bigly size of his inauguration crowd, or that he was the most popular president ever, or that the Russia investigations are a witch hunt by the fake news?

If not... He don't care.

at your sh*tty golf course where your head explodes based on your worthless sexual predator poll numbers.

Hey ass**** why don't you hold a news conference to show everyone again, how you think, because you really are a small individual, its only been about 60 days since you dug yourself into a hole, really come back so that you can dig it even deeper ass****



I really hope that the reliable media keeps this up

republicants are allowing Russians to move here. Then they are registering them to vote. They are hoping to make up that 3 million popular vote difference by 2020.

Hey if they can make up crap about Democrats......

and rhetoric, he tweets out what he wants to see AND what he wants his fans to believe. He is blasting out the same old messages but the faithful are starting to tune him out. Oh, for sure, he will keep some of them in the fold, but nothing like the numbers he once boasted about having.

I am trying to think of someone else who took a big fall and then regained their popularity and am having trouble recalling anyone who did that. Maybe it is just willful blindness on my part but common sense tells me that once people lose faith in what you say AND more importantly, what you DO, it is hard, very hard, to recapture them. If you cannot carry through with what you promised during the campaign, how can you expect people to continue blind support? I guess in tRump world, you can expect that through sheer force of will. He will find out the hard way that it doesn't work that way. The time is running out for him to put up or shut up. ⌛️ What do you suppose he has up his sleeve in a last ditch effort to make them LUV him again?? Frightening thought.....😳👀😥

Your base is shrinking, you have totally lost independents, and all Dems hate the day you were born. The only people who like you now are the true avowed racists and haters, the KKK, the Alt-Right, the White Nationalists. the Russia first types and others like them. Everyone loathes and fears your total ignorance, hate, refusal to face reality and fealty to a hostile foreign country.

He yells out his disagreement with facts as a matter of typical behavior. It's a pathological condition that he must constantly deny reality.
