Desperate Rapin' Bombin' Golfin' Grampy shares months-old cherry-picked data to "prove" America loves him BIGLY

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 Trump’s 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 proxy—such as a VPN” to change the country displayed on their profile.

It cites data from a months-old Wall Street Journal poll—then cherry-picks the most flattering numbers, ignoring the bad. In fact, the post completely ignores the WSJ piece’s headline, which was particularly unflattering to Trump. “It’s Trump’s Economy, and Voters Are Unhappy With It,” it read.

Everything was out there and was known about this sleezeball ... since the 1980s! CREEPY, RAPEY, CON ARTIST.

A ham sandwich can run the govt better than republiCONS. And this has been known since the 1980s!

The voting population has now roundly proven beyond a doubt the principle that we, citizens, are only as strong as our weakest link. MAGA looking right at you! Wanna' do better? Wanna make amends? Get out in the streets with us! RESIST TRUMP TYRANNY, STUPIDITY and GREED.

yet nothing tangible ever seems to come of it.

Someone should hand Daily Beast et al a thesaurus so that they can come up with other clickbait words.
