Trump Blames 'Corrupt Media' for His Poor Poll Numbers



June 5, 2019 at 9:09 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

President Trump is already planting the seeds to blame the media if he loses in 2020.

His latest tweet: “If the totally Corrupt Media was less corrupt, I would be up by 15 points in the polls based on our tremendous success with the economy, maybe Best Ever! If the Corrupt Media was actually fair, I would be up by 25 points. Nevertheless, despite the Fake News, we’re doing great!”

FOX News is the only reason Trump's approval rating hasn't completely cratered. In a sane world it would be into negative numbers by now.

They also have all those syndicated Sinclair stations, One America Network, a large majority of the local and regional newspapers and, of course, right-wing talk radio. All these together usually tend to drive the news cycle and put the focus on Donny Dollhands

And serial liar and corrupt con man trump are again laughable , and expected. He has to lie and promote his propaganda by attacking the truth, or his propaganda won't work, and signs are it's working less and less as people are wising up to all his lying.

Is because of the way they ask the questions. When you asked honest questions pertaining to his fitness for office, they are under 35% usually.
