Trump re-tweeted 'Turningpoint USA' crackpot Charlie Kirk's post about Trump allegedly having a 51% approval rating.

I wondered where Kirk could have gotten THAT ridiculous number from, and then I realized "Oh yeah, there's only ONE place, isn't there?"
The Rassmussen clown car is at it again.
This week's RCP Average numbers:
Source: Approve Disapprove
Rassmussen:50 47
Reuters/Ip: 39 56
Quinnipiac: 41 55
Gallup: 46 50
Politico: 42 54
The RCP Average gives him an Approval/Disapproval average of -9.3. Leave it to Rassmussen to give him the only rating of +3. Only 12.3% off the average.

We all know President Trump has a fragile ego that has to be stroked constantly. That's why nobody is allowed to mention Russian election meddling in the 2016 election around him. The possibility that he's only President because he got a big assist from Putin drives him BANANAS! (Did you ever see that movie 'The Madness of King George,' with Nigel Hawthorn? Where nobody was allowed to mention the Americas around King George III, because it would make him go nuts? SAME THING! Not a good sign.)
And we know he spends all day watching Fox News, and reading The Daily Caller because they only say positive things about him.
He has the State Department and the CIA and NSA to tell him what's going on in the world, and yet he passes the daily intelligence briefings to Colonel Mustache, and prefers to get his morning intelligence briefing from STEVE FUCKING DOOCY.
The fact that he lives in a fantasy, non-reality bubble about all this stuff should be of great concern to us! But there's ONE fantasy, un-reality bubble that I'm GLAD he lives in, and that's the fake RASSMUSSEN POLL NUMBERS he's always consuming.
Go ahead, believe RASSMUSSEN when they say you've got a 51% approval rating, when in reality it's 36%. Proceed to the next election believing that! I APPROVE!

Their estimate suggests he went under after only two weeks in office and hasn't floated back to the surface since
