Trump lashes out at Fox News over polls / blames polls for stock market plunge

Donald Trump lashes out at Fox News over battleground state surveys that show him trailing Joe Biden saying 'get a new pollster' - and blames poll for stock market plunge
President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News over a series of swing state polls that showed him behind Democrat Joe Biden

'Fox News polls are, as in the past, Fake News. They have been from the beginning, way off in 2016. Get a new pollster. I believe we are leading BIG!'
Trump also said the stock market drop Thursday was caused by polls that predicted he was losing, trying to suggest Biden was bad for the economy

The pretentious president would rather fill in whatever numbers he likes best. Reality will bend his way.
