President Donald Trump stood before an adoring crowd of supporters at a rally in Florida Tuesday night and told them that “just like everything else,” “polls are fake.”

-snip-

In an extensive and mostly nonsensical riff about his approval ratings, Trump told the crowd, “I guarantee you one thing. I have your vote. I guarantee you.”

“Of course if the Fake News did a poll — they’re called suppression polls,” he said. “Polls are fake just like everything else.” He continued:

“If the fake news did a poll, it would show that I’m only getting 25% with the 401(k) people even though they’re up 44%. No, we got — we’re doing well. We’re doing well. And I’m happy you’re doing well. They just came out with a poll, did you hear? The most popular person in the history of the Republican Party is Trump. Can you believe this? So I said, does that include honest Abe Lincoln?”

Trump Revisits the ‘War on Christmas’ in July: ‘Remember the Attack on Merry Christmas?’

by Josh Feldman | Jul 31st, 2018, 8:18 pm

President Donald Trump got the crowd at his Tampa rally fired up today, but for some reason on the last day of July he reflected on the “war on Christmas.”

Trump was talking about voter ID before he said, “We’re turning it around. Remember I said––it’s awfully early to be thinking this, but I always think it––remember the attack on ‘Merry Christmas’?”

“They’re not attacking it anymore. Everyone’s happy to say ‘Merry Christmas,'” the President declared.

Trump has exploited this cultural issue since the 2016 election. Last December he actually took credit for leading the charge to make people proud to say “Merry Christmas” again:

[Demovictory9]

4. hopefully. fingers crossed.

[CatMor]

2. Hard to believe this insane nonsense is going on in this country ..

trump is a blithering idiot and his followers are as ignorant as he is. He is destroying our country and the Republican party is doing nothing about it. He has got to be stopped.

[2naSalit]

3. Meltdown...

[fierywoman]

5. " ... especially me and the legitimacy of my presidency! ..."

[aeromanKC]

6. Tick Tock Tick Tock

#MAGA (The Mueller one)

[yonder]

7. Happy Holidays in advance, donald.

It'll be a national holiday the day you're out of the picture and most folks won't have a problem celebrating it.

Lessee here, turkey for Thanksgiving, a goose for the following Solstice, hot dogs for the 4th and how about a big, fat roast pig for your day which will be here before you know.

[JohnnyRingo]

8. I didn't know the Merry Xmas ban ended.

I spent the whole month of December saying "happy holidays". I notice the stores stopped saying it in January though.

[C Moon]

9. And his crowd cheers and agrees. Wow. I didn't know people could be so stupid.

[vlyons]

11. well now you know

nt

[atreides1]

29. Yes they can

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

― George Carlin

[vlyons]

10. Fake, just like you, Asshole

Trump knows more than a little about fake.

[Le Gaucher]

12. Yes Christmas will come early when Mueller will impale his ass with a manure fork.

[Midnight Writer]

13. Dammit! I was just about to say "Happy Holidays!" and Trump beat me again! So frustrating! Sad!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. Once again, the videotape shows that Donnie Two Scoops is lying:

Let's look at things you can only believe Trump about:

When he's out of office, somebody's going to put together a thee volume set of all his lies.

[brer cat]

22. WAPO has him at 4,229 lies in 558 days.

And the pace is increasing. When he leaves office, he will need a Presidential LIEbrary.

[olddad56]

15. this is coming from the FAKE human being.

[CrispyQ]

35. One of the best cartoons ever.

[PaulX2]

16. And There Is No Book Called 1984

It is fake!

[duforsure]

17. When you're an illegitimate president

You have to lie a lot, and claim the truth is fake as putin and trump do. Its their biggest enemy. He's corrupted everything else, then accused others of what he's done or is doing, so he's admitting he's rigged some of the polls if his history is proof after this statement. He uses that tactic a lot only to find out that he's done that . So rigging some polls, yes he probably has .

[Astraea]

18. Merry Christmas, motherf***er

[truthisfreedom]

19. He's doing our work for us.

Illegitimate.

[Snellius]

20. Trump celebrates antiChristmas

Trump celebrates Jesus? Trump celebrates himself. Certainly not this guy:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

21. Including those clowns at his rallies!

Remember those nasty townhalls back when the teabaggers were fired up by the kocktopus? this is teabag 2.0.

[Nitram]

23. Polls are fake unless they show I am winning. Which they never do. Go figure.

[keithbvadu2]

24. There are many polls. Pick the one you like and swear by it.

There are many polls.
Pick the one you like and swear by it.
Swear at the others.

[John Gruff]

25. But he cites Rasmussen

When it suits his purposes.

[DetlefK]

26. "Polls are fake! And I'm doing very well according to the polls!"

[ProfessorGAC]

27. It Bragged About 44%?

Besides the fact that the phrasing was barely coherent, that buffoon is bragging that people with enough money in their 401K to care about such things, are approving at only 44%. Meaning more people don't then do.

That's something to brag about?

[sinkingfeeling]

28. I thought It was saying the 401ks were up 44%. Mine has been up

and down, but no gain of 44%.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Can't Be It

Essentially nobody has a 401K that went up 44%. This isn't the Magellan days.

Besides, most 401k plans assiduously recommend diversification so most people have the money distributed to measure risk vs. return.

If you're right about what IT was referring to, then that's just another lie.

[rurallib]

31. A major part of being able to steal elections through the black boxes is believing

that polls are false and a 10% variance or more is possible. Especially the exit polls

Last I recall the Carter center would validate elections based on exit polls in other countries. There has been sometimes a wide discrepancy between exit polls and final results in US elections since @2000, I believe.

[bdamomma]

32. funny

is he including himself in that comment.

'Polls Are Fake Just Like Everything Else'

stupid ass con job.

[Javaman]

33. only trump is the truth! all others, all sources, all news, all polls, everything else is fake!!!

your lord and master has spoken! now go! Go and do my bidding!

[marble falls]

34. What's also fake: All those empty seats at his last rally he claimed was to the rafters...

the place looked half empty ....

Notice they don't sweep the right side of the auditorium.

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. Thought he told his Deplorables that the polls are fake. His Deplorables are MORONS to listen his

garbage lies.
