23% of Polish citizens confident in Trump, but they're going to fake cheering crowds anyway.

Now reports out of Poland suggest that the Polish government has figured out a way to make Trump feel comfortable in their country — by busing in people to cheer him.

According to the Associated Press, Polish news agencies are reporting that the Polish government “promised the White House a reception of cheering crowds as part of its invitation” to the president, and is going so far as to “bus in groups from the provinces to hear Trump’s speech.”

The White House did not respond to the AP’s questions about whether it received assurances that the Polish government would bus in cheering people to make Trump’s visit to the country more pleasant.

Finding Poles who are willing to come out and cheer the president might be easier said than done, however. A recent Pew poll found that just 23 percent of Polish citizens were confident in Trump’s leadership, whereas 58 percent of Polish citizens had previously expressed confidence in former President Barack Obama’s leadership.

2. CNN just reported that so may Poles want to see Trump that the gov't offered to offer them bus rides

to get there. They need buses to handle the crowds!

Geesh, that's a different slant on the reporting.

4. 23% is a lot of people.

It doesn't take a majority of support to mobilize people, or even to affectively rule a country. It only takes a relatively small minority that is politically cohesive and organized.
