Trump Says His Approval Rate Is Near 50 Percent. It Is Not.
On Sunday, President Trump made some ludicrous comments on Twitter. In other news, the sun rose in the east.
Ranking the presidents Sunday tweets in terms of importance, his claim that the New York Times was lying about his efforts to hire a new lawyer to defend against Robert Muellers special investigation which the paper vigorously denied took the cake.
But in terms of sheer absurdity, it was a toss-up between Trumps claim that Republicans are 5-0 in congressional races since he became president (which conveniently ignores a certain Alabama Senate race and a California congressional seat) and his contention that the lying media is ignoring how popular he actually is....
The president has been deeply unpopular for a long time. But Trump lies so much to inflate his wealth, importance, and popularity that its sometimes hard to remember just how disliked he really is.
