Trump just tweeted a Fox News Poll shows a 40% Approval Rating with African Americans.......

New Fox Poll shows a “40% Approval Rating by African Americans for President Trump, a record for Republicans.” Thank you, a great honor!




I cannot locate that poll on Fox News.

Just like people were rioting in Fresno because they wanted to leave CA and the sanctuary cities but weren't being allowed to go. Pure fiction, not one shred of truth.

Besides, Trump's white nationalist supporters don't want blacks to approve. They want them to submit.

This at all: https://www.foxnews.com/official-polls

Even if there was one, Fox is so blatantly a Republican propaganda machine I wouldn't buy that he has that many black people buying his lies and pigpoo.

Or did he get a head start on daylights savings time and tweet out a few other juicy lies?


Who did they poll? Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Ben Carson, and his "African American" from campaign days and then decided that counted as 40%?

Which is probably 5% or less of African Americans. The devil is in the details.

October 29 tweet, which is apparently what they're referring to:






One example of just how skewed RW Rasmussen is -- there's NO gender gap there in Trump's approval numbers. Rasmussen has Trump approval at 50% for both men and women.

My guess is they polled a very small number of black voters, most of them male. All other polls show Trump's worst approval numbers with black women.

and it is RW propaganda aimed at Asian-Americans and the same RW American audiences that RevMoon targeted and exploited since the early 80s. Washington Times fed FOX news content which relied on that Moonie propaganda as its main source for its broadcast news and reporting for irs first 15 years of operation.

I don’t fully know why Falun Gong is so all in for Trunp but I suspect it’s because they like the Christofascism.

Given they have to fight real fascism in China, I’m not sure why they like it here.

I would have thought that was one zero too many. I don't know ANY black folks back home that consider Trump to be anything other than pond scum.
