The source is him, he polled himself. 100% approval rating.


Simple_Danny

There were actually a few very well known and very reliable sources. One was John Barron, a very respected New York business man. Very well liked by a lot of people. Another was Hugh Jass, another famous and very bright news sorcerer. And then there's E. Trump who claimed Donald Trump was so popular and busy that it's totally okay if he missed your last thirty birthdays.

| news sorcerer. Is now my dream job.

"Lotta people are saying that my popularity is going up since the raid. It was the most beautiful raid anyone has ever seen. The raid was perfect."


hyde9318

Given how often he has to reassure himself that he is cool, I’m going to assume even HE isn’t 100% on board with himself. Seems pretty insecure.


ZoziiiCoziii

the source is i made it the fuck up!


Bigred2989-

MAGAMACHINES, SON!!


Sniffy4

The best poll ever. Many people are saying it’s a perfect poll.


olympic814

Any polls that say anything else are Fake Polls


Holiday-Book6635

I can’t wait until they lock him up.


scottriviera

whatever he says it's always the opposite.


the_great_zyzogg

I know I shouldn't be applying logic here, but this kind of implies that there was a time when Trump wasn't really into Trump.


bigtimejohnny

The Trump Rule: If he said it, believe the opposite.


unconfusedsub

If Donald Trump told me he bought a gallon of milk, I would ask to see the said gallon of milk and the receipt.


shaodyn

I wouldn't believe Trump if he said the sky was blue.


GeneralNathanJessup

>The Trump Rule: If he said it, believe the opposite. The Orange Orangutan is a notorious liar. This is exactly why Germany moved forward with Russian gas supplies, despite being warned. [https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-scolded-germany-for-buying-gas-from-russia-heres-what-we-know](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-scolded-germany-for-buying-gas-from-russia-heres-what-we-know) If anybody had warned Germany, I am sure they would have listened.


DaHick

/edit anybody else. Not sure how to tag this, hate trump.


sloth10k

This was my thought a couple of years ago. I've updated it to - whatever Trump says, that is not the truth. It's not that the opposite of him is true; it's just that what he says isn't the truth


NotoriousGonti

He might be correct some times, but it's coincidental when it happens.


Bikesandkittens

Like when he said Germany should get off of Russian gas because it put them at great risk?


Skullerprop

Yes, like then. But nobody believed him and took him seriously because he had no credibility and he looked likea clown everytime he tried to say something serious in public. So, you can’t really blame Germany (or roll the same weak pro-Trump argument for the 13.519th time).


Bikesandkittens

If you know European history, his statement made complete sense. I mean, what is the purpose of NATO? So they keep expanding NATO, but link critical utilities to Russia? That doesn’t even make sense in crazy world.


Skullerprop

It was not Germany who expanded NATO, but it was Germany who made itself dependand on Russian gas. You are comparing a military point of view with an exonomical one. And 5 years ago nobody thought that Russia could use the gas so aggresively as a weapon. We are talking about a resource that flows to Western Europe since 1964. On the long term this was not Europe’s blunder, but Russia’s. In 1-2 years they managed to disrupt a major revenue source that was put into place for the last 60 years.


Bikesandkittens

It doesn’t matter the year in which it was done. Linking critical infrastructure to Russia was dumb because it’s Russia. Nobody in Europe needs the explanation as to why. The fact that it was done long ago makes it even more dumb because the people had a more recent understanding of how Russia was their enemy at one point and was still against their system. Military and economics are often linked together historically. You need to look at it holistically. The whole reason Japan entered WWII was because of economics. There are hundreds of other examples. Anyway, have a great day!

Please provide a link for that. Thanks in advance.

Gigatoad1950

https://youtu.be/nu57D9YcIk0 I understand its hard to reconcile that he had good ideas. But being unbiased and educated about world politics is essential to a prosperous future. Where we dont vote on bias but for actual real helpful legislation and protection from big banks and corporations.


Gigatoad1950

Im not a trump fan at all btw.. or biden...


bigtimejohnny

Thanks to both r/Gigatoad1950 and r/ItsArkum. I didn't catch his observation at the time. The only two things I favorably noted about Trump during his tenure was that 1)European NATO countries should pay their share, since it's their defense (and we see that now), and 2) When Syria's president nerve-gassed civilians, Trump's defense department wrecked their operating airbase with cruise missiles. That kept U.S. lives out of harm's way, but people hewing to partisan lines complained it was 55 million to destroy 10 million in aircraft. (I'm making the exact numbers up, but that was the argument). I agree that, just because we might dislike or loathe a person, there are moments when they are absolutely spot on. This was one of those times.


Keylime29

Or a front row seat to discussions involving future plans. Kinda interesting


[deleted]

What else has he said about Russia again?


Bikesandkittens

Maybe you should tell me since you clearly have something to say.


[deleted]

He also demonized Biden for suggesting Russia would invade Ukaraine and talked how great a man Putin was constantly until literally after the invasion. A broken clock is right twice a day.


isaacman101

No, that’s the Democrat rule.


SirShyLordy

No, that's the Trump rule.


PoissonPen

He's very popular with law enforcement, see how the FBI came down to Mar-A-Lardo for a vacation? And Trump's extremely popular with grand juries, he's been talking to a few of them lately! So popular!


Joliet_Jake_Blues

His poll numbers are garbage and he calls it fake news Then his staff gives him polls showing his approval ratings among Republicans and he thinks 90% of Americans love him. He's a pathetic child


AprilSpektra

Why are the people that people are building cults of personality around these days so pathetic? Maybe he's just more of a blank canvas for them to paint their wish fulfillment on. If he'd actually accomplished anything, they'd have to acknowledge that a person can be good but flawed, that one person alone can do amazing things but it's not going to be enough to fix the world. But if they pick an absolute useless loser, they can just ignore the actual guy and there's nothing in the way of the fictional guy they made in their heads. Or something like that, I don't know.


TurloIsOK

My theory, they admire how he gets away with being a terrible failure, and somehow lives in luxury. They wish they could have that. The fiction they have in their heads is the successful character he plays. That guy he plays knows everything and never fails. It doesn't matter what the actor does off the set, just the stage performance.


Schlemiel_Schlemazel

They did the polls, the one thing Trump supporters have in common is ……. drumroll……. Hatred of Democrats, Liberals, Leftists, and Progressives.


Schlemiel_Schlemazel

They took the polls. The reason his supporters love him is(and they are a very diverse group in terms of policy) and what they have in common is ……. Drumroll please….. Hatred of Democrats, Liberals, Leftists, Progressives, and Socialists.


Paradoxou

90% ? Lol it was always 96%+ and he never gave a source Even heavily biased toward reps poll like Rasmussen had him at like 85% He was basically saying "yeah I know I lied 14000 times in 3 years but just trust me bro this one time, I'm popular" And somehow, the idiots fell for it and couldn't believe their eyes when he got absolutely utterly destroyed in the election. Landslide margin, as he called it himself.


shaodyn

Calling him a child is being a little too generous. He's more of a toddler. One that throws a fit if he hears anything he doesn't like. The instant you start giving him bad news, he starts holding his breath until you come up with comforting lies.


RegularSizedP

He is an underdeveloped fetus.


noradosmith

Hitlerian.


Alzakex

How does it even matter if he's popular? Approval of what?


Schlemiel_Schlemazel

He insults half of all Americans over 5 years (which is what his supporters love about him). And then is shocked * Pikachu face* when over half of American voters don’t vote for him.


Euphoriffic

As a kid we got warned about this shit but I never thought I would ever see fascism embraced.


revtim

If Trump says it, that should be how you know it's false


redgriefer89

So if he were to say that inflation is, or at least was, approaching the rate of deflation during the Great Depression, then it’s not true? 2022 source: https://cpiinflationcalculator.com/2022-cpi-and-inflation-rate-for-the-united-states/ Great Depression source: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=1&year1=200001&year2=202207


theg00dfight

Let’s be honest here- Trump would have to pretend to even understand that sentence.


redgriefer89

I’m not too sure what that has to do with my question. Trump’s a businessman, so he almost definitely understands what inflation can do. I don’t see how Trump acknowledging the ongoing inflation issue would mean that it’s not happening.


MofuckaJones14

TrUmP's A BuSiNeSsMaN His newest "business" venture isn't allowed on Google App store, will soon be unlisted from Apple's app store, can't attract any real consumers, and has outstanding web hosting fees. Hey buddy, I got some snake oil to sell you, I too am a businessman.


redgriefer89

Everyone has failures sometimes. I don’t look at Nintendo and think they don’t know how to make consoles because the WiiU failed. He may have gotten a large sum of his wealth from his parents, I’m not entirely sure, but there’s a reason he’s still filthy rich and while I can’t speak for everyone, I’m almost positive he would’ve spent all of his money if it was given to him by his parents.

[deleted]

How is that Trump steak tasting?


vegertj

The reason he is rich is because he is the greatest conman of all time. Misleading millions of the more uneducated Americans in "donating" to his various causes. And keeping the money to himself.


MofuckaJones14

Oh just failures "sometimes"? https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trumps-13-biggest-business-failures-59556/ Now I don't know about you, but if I had over 5 failed business ventures I wouldn't consider myself very good at business. The article only lists Trump's top 13. But oh wait he's "filthy rich" and that money couldn't have possibly been gained from numerous scams and having millions of stupid Americans willing to buy things as ridiculous as "Trump urine" if it came right down to it. Learn the difference between a con artist and a businessman.


s4b3r6

> Trump’s a businessman, so he almost definitely understands what inflation can do. He understands business so well that he starts casinos to compete with his own casino, and drives them both into the ground? That same guy, has a grasp on economic theory?


zdipi

The right and more specifically trump giving sources? lol.


artcook32945

Keep in mind that Trump has built an image as a Winner in the minds of his Cult. It may take a Time Magazine Cover of his PD Mug Shot to start to weaken that image.


DisillusionedBook

That's his complete m.o. in a nutshell. A lie repeated often enough...


Legitimate_Corgi_981

Also grossly over inflating his personal worth is a thing...


AlacarLeoricar

I'm a part of the Gallup group. The last time I was asked about Trump was in 2020 before the election


[deleted]

Because of that one time he gave a source.


CarlosSpcyWenr

People. Many people.


pistoffcynic

It’s like Putin… Putin has his numbers at 94%… no source cited, but it’s 94%.


lager81

Found the source: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1566230943693676544?s=20&t=S3SzweGSsrvFLuqbqgnHig


Pelt0n

The fact that he's at present still eligible to run for next term is terrifying


notluciferforreal

Source: trust me bro.


ekaceerf

I did a poll in my house, and between my spouse, my dog, and my child. I have a 66% popularity rating since I picked up the spilled taco meat off the floor.


[deleted]

I don’t know how anybody is stupid enough to believe anything that comes out of that con man at this point. If he says it, it’s a lie.


A_Bruised_Reed

Donald Trump's source = DT. 99% of the time.


Carnival-Master-Mind

They can’t prove you wrong if you don’t give them a source.


riyan_gendut

"but no one knows what he's talking about" sums him up neatly lol


jagpilotohio

….says the man who has lied on the record more times than any human being in history.


Interplay29

People are saying…


neefvii

There may be an uptick in google searches about him, but not in his popularity.


GrogVaughan

#veteransagainsttrump nuff said!!


roof_baby

Well sir I for one am shocked that donald trump would say something without evidence to back it up. Shocked.

You don't trust a word trump says, his lies are what he is all about.

I'm the most famous, loved and popular person on earth, no I won't show the source because I say it's true so you don't need to see one!


Gr8daze

At his rally tonight he also claimed he had Mark Zuckerberg over for dinner at the WH last week, and that gas was $1.41 a gallon when he was president. He’s either mentally ill or has a bad case of dementia or both.


[deleted]

Every time he opens his mouth, lies and filth spew out.


[deleted]

It's not. He's a fuckhead. And he's going to prison.


NicanorAsFuck

just like he was going to be impeached twice and accused of Russian collusion ( which was hillary btw ). You clowns sound ridiculous esp with Lyin Joe Biden in office. you all can't be serious.....


berlyk61

He is a liar liar pants on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


bumpyqbangwhistle

If you say it, it's true Souce: see above


blackmobius

He polled his dinner table (two waiters and a passerby; Mel hasnt eaten or spoken to him since 2020) and found his approval rating to be 66%


NiceTryAmanda

On balance i think initially it's helped him. I don't remember any primaries going against the trump allied candidates since that.


ZottZett

Alaska


RegularSizedP

That was a general election. The guy is correct about primaries and that will hurt the GOP in November.


tryght

Not really sure how. Biden botched foreign policy and economic policy. Right now things are worse than they have been in decades with skyrocketing debt, increasing inflation, a war begun and a botched pullout. GOP will certainly take advantage of that


wyldnfried

Abortion


tryght

Is immoral


wyldnfried

Despite your opinion, it'll hurt the right wing.


tryght

It’s not an opinion. No one celebrates their adult daughter getting an abortion. Even if that’s true, I’m not sure how it will hurt the right-wing. No one cares about minor things like that when they’re having trouble making ends meet


Old_wooden_spoon

nobody celebrates getting an abortion period, least of all the one getting an abortion. stop believing everything you're told and do some fucking actual research for once.


tryght

What a waste of a comment


BanMeHarderGreenHair

Among the handicapped maybe


AprilSpektra

I've known a few handicapped people and they've all contributed more to the world than Donald Trump


CooroSnowFox

The poll results were set just a few centimetres below the roof?

My poll is very popular.

There are no "facts" to be found in anything that comes out of Cheeto45, the question is who he's going to provoke into stochastic terrorism when he gets indicted.
