Trump: If it weren't for fake news, his approval "would be at 70!, maybe at 75!" instead of 43.

[Miles Archer]

When asked about his reelection chances, Trump tried to claim that his current poll numbers are “very good,” when in reality his average approval rating at the Real Clear Politics average of polls is just 43 percent, while his disapproval rating is stuck at 54 percent.

He then turned his ire toward the news media.

“If you people gave straight news, I’d be at 70!” Trump complained. “I’d be maybe at 75! But you don’t give straight news, you give fake news!”

[spanone]

2. he would eliminate all outlets except Faux 'news' if he could...

[abqtommy]

3. If the media

presented the straight news tRump's approval rating would be -70! Of course it already it is, at least for me...

4. The media remains far too deferential instead of confrontational to this traitor.

If the media would stop kissing his ass and start treating him like the lying, bigoted, incompetent fool he is, then this country might be able to quickly address the disasters he has caused.

10. Well stated.

Spoiled moron wants worshipful coverage.

[wryter2000]

5. Maybe 115%!

Maybe higher

[smirkymonkey]

6. No you wouldn't.

Most people in this country despise you. They can see you and hear you and they don't need the news to tell them what their own eyes and ears tell them. You are a horrible, evil, petty, corrupt, little man and everyone can see it very clearly. Except for your brainwashed base, who are dumber than dirt, just like you.

You are a loser. Always have been and always will be.

7. Every time he mentions a number, he immediately iterates an increasing sequence. No matter what..

No matter what subject..

"My polls would be a 70 percent, 75, maybe 80!"

"Tariffs are giving our country, billions, tens of billions, hundreds!"

"Caravans are coming with thousands of people, maybe ten thousand, fifteen, twenty five!

[procon]

8. Trump is mentally ill.

He really thinks that he's so perfectly charming that even the most diehard Dem couldn't help but love him... If they would only watch Fox instead of other news sources. In his delusion, he thinks that 50% of some poll means he's universally adored by the whole country.

[SamKnause]

9. It would be at 100%.

Everyone in the country loves you president Trump.

You are the smartest, handsomest, kindest, and most empathetic president this country has every had.

EVERYONE loves you !!!

Keep up the great work.

You have unified this country like never before.

[gratuitous]

11. So whiny and needy

Just pathetic. This is what passes for a strongman in some quarters.

[lunasun]

12. The +43% still creeps me out
