Trump has begun sharing X polls in a desperate bid to prove his own popularity.
A myriad of recent polls suggest that Americans are particularly concerned about the economy, the spiraling war on Iran, and how the president is handling those issues. But not in Trumps mind.
In an attempt to regain control of the narrative, the 79-year-old shared a screengrab on Truth Social detailing a poll from an X account named America First Now.
The account claims to be based in the U.S., but an advisory notice in its account information section warns that the profile manager may have used a proxysuch as a VPN to change the country displayed on their profile.
It cites data from a months-old Wall Street Journal pollthen cherry-picks the most flattering numbers, ignoring the bad. In fact, the post completely ignores the WSJ pieces headline, which was particularly unflattering to Trump. Its Trumps Economy, and Voters Are Unhappy With It, it read.
