Summary

Donald Trump falsely claimed he had approval ratings of 69% and 71%, despite no public poll supporting those figures.

Recent surveys from Pew, Quinnipiac, Gallup, and others place his approval below 50%, with some showing him underwater.

Trump has a history of dismissing unfavorable polls as “fake” and even sued a news organization over poll results.

Experts suggest his political success relies on maintaining the illusion of widespread support despite declining approval ratings.

    I mean, there’s a solid chance his handlers are just giving him fake poll numbers and shit to keep him busy anyway. He’s a fucking toddler, this dude isn’t reading the news. He gets a piece of paper that says “EVERYONE LOVES YOU, 89% APPROVAL” along with another Photoshop of him on some magazine every morning to make him feel like a big boy.
