Donald Trump Jr. posted a fake graphic to Instagram on Wednesday, to misrepresent his father’s approval rating.

It was unclear who made the fake graphic that the president’s eldest son shared in an Instagram post that has not yet been deleted, but in it his father’s 40 percent approval rating is clearly visible below a photoshopped 50%.

“I guess there is a magic wand to make things happen,” Junior said, referring to his father’s accomplishments.

Donald Trump remains the least-popular president of all time.

1. They count on their base to have the memory of a gnat

The Dotard talked down the economy for his entire campaign, but nothing's different now. This is Obama's economy - the trend lines are unchanged from 2016.

2. Least popular president of all time.

4. I see he inherited his father's low IQ. Sad!

5. The original image is from CNN (John King)

The version Don Jr. posted alters the Trump Job Approval from 40 to 50 percent.

Here's the original:

8. Even As Is, The Graphic Is Dubious

At the 18 month point, the stimulus had yet to take root and Silverspoon's recession was still in full boil.
Apples & oranges!

10. King was making a political point

Namely that Trump's approval rating is unusually low considering the relatively positive overall economic picture.

The idea being that Obama inherited this awful economy from Bush but still had higher approval numbers than Trump does in spite of the better economic picture today.

Edit to add link to the video clip:

12. I Saw It

And knew that. The graphic, and King's point is dubious.

6. Whoever altered it appears to be color blind.

It's almost work to be that far off when matching colors in any editing program.

Complete Dumbass!!

11. Play with that stuff while you have access, Jr.

You wont have the space in Cell block D.

13. It would be funny if Trump and Obama appeared at the same time in the same city.

Don's crowd might fill up a high school gymnasium, but Obama's crowd would fill up an arena and there would be people waiting outside who couldn't get in.

14. Remember how Sarah Palin would show up on the same day, in a town against those she didn't support?

.

She would suck all of the oxygen out of the state, and the people and news would cover her.

That's what Phyllis Schlafly did, holding her convention in the same town at the same time as the Democrat one.

Instead of the news just covering the Democratic Convention, the news switched back and forth between the two.


It's time Democrats play those games, and fuck up Trump and his flunkies.
