Trump says the polls are wrong because boaters and motorcyclists love him

[SouthernCal_Dem]

President Donald Trump dismissed current national polls that show him trailing in double-digits to the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden during an interview with America This Week host Eric Bolling.

<...>

Trump said “The fake polls, I call them fake polls, they’re suppression polls, they’re meant to dampen the enthusiasm of your voters, of your people because we have tremendous enthusiasm. You know we are up 30 points in enthusiasm—that’s a very important number—in enthusiasm over Biden.”

“Take a look at boating, there are thousands of boaters all over the country…Trump! Trump! We Love Trump,” he noted to illustrate the enthusiasm. “Motorcycles, you look at all of the motorcycles all over the highway… Bikers for Trump.”

[kimbutgar]

2. Boaters and bikers area small minority in this country.sounds like he's out of touch grasping for

Straws of voter supporter.

[bdamomma]

3. ? boaters??

WTF is he talking about?

[Submariner]

8. Florida must have all the good psychoactive drugs

[A HERETIC I AM]

20. Remember the good ol days when we used to do that sort of thing?

When we all adorned our vehicles and watercraft with Obama flags and attended Obama rallies and wore Obama hats and shirts everywhere?

No?

Right, because we weren’t in a fucking cult.

27. The bottom picture would make me not go out

The bottom picture would make me not go out with a boat, that is insane. Most of those boaters probably don't know the navigation rules of the road. Also the waterway doesn't look that wide, nowhere to bailout if a incident arises.

[Rollo]

4. Translation: Meth dealers and drug smugglers love Trump...

I wonder why...

[captain queeg]

5. Delusional as his cob web brain fails. If it was my grandpa I'd feel sorry for him

But my grandpa would be in assisted living at this point, not in a position to destroy the country.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Motorcyclists and boaters! Well, that changes everything.

[LW1977]

7. So the whole country is motorcyclists and boaters.

Our job rate shouldn’t be so down if we can all afford motorcycles and boats.

[soothsayer]

9. I mean, when you think of all the people you can fit on a motorcycle...

[Nevilledog]

17. *snort*

[Nictuku]

10. About those enthusiasm numbers....

It is true,

"55 percent of registered voters who back Mr. Trump say they are very enthusiastic about supporting him, and 32 percent say they are somewhat enthusiastic. Among Mr. Biden’s supporters, just 28 percent say they are very enthusiastic, while 46 percent are somewhat enthusiastic." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/us/politics/trump-biden-enthusiasm-gap.html

What needs to be understood: Only 25% of Americans self-identify as Republicans, 31% as Democrats, and a whopping 40% Independent

So 55% of 25%? I'm not worried about that.

I think they asked the wrong question, it should be more: Who are you enthusiastic about voting against? (because that is where we are)

[tanyev]

11. What about Segways? I have to know who all the Segway riders are supporting.

[kairos12]

12. Sinking boats.

[malaise]

13. Many bikers are military

Hope someone is telling them about the treasonous bounty

[GulfCoast66]

14. Not this boater. I see them out in the gulf occasionally.

Flying a trump flag off their boat.

I’m like, WTF? Who does that. Then I realize they are really cult members.

I’ve been fishing for over 45 years. I have never seen this shit.

I think they are going to lose. But they won’t be happy, to say the least.

[Blue Owl]

15. Wow... that's like, huge...

[Delarage]

16. I saw a boat with a Trump flag

Middle aged white couple on board. At the Indian River Inlet in Delaware. I gave them the finger but I'm not sure they saw me. They were not moving and, when I came back from my walk along the river, they were gone. They could've gone out into the ocean, but I like to think that their boat sank

[Solly Mack]

18. I notice he didn't mention the racist golf cart enthusiasts

[TeamPooka]

19. There are a dozen boats with Trump flags at the Ventura Marina here in CA

out of 400 boats and yachts moored there.

[Demovictory9]

21. % of population that owns a boat or motorcycle... i'm guessing .01%

and 99% of them will be male. Trump needs the female vote

[onethatcares]

24. he does have a way to round them up ya know

just grab em by the "p***y*.

What woman wouldn't be impressed with that?

[Captain Zero]

23. Most large boat owners have a little dinghy too

Just sayin'

[North Shore Chicago]

25. 8 out of 5

Hurry-Cane owners endorse dipshit!

[MissMillie]

26. What gave him the idea

that boaters and motorcyclists were excluded from the poll?

[Ted Jason]

28. I'm not a Biker, but I know just over a dozzen of them, from three different groups

They don't cotton much to traitors and cowards, and all 9 whom I've asked are voting for Biden.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. I Know 4 Serious Bikers

1 is a maybe, the other 3 wouldn't vote for PINO with a gun to their heads.
Anecdotal, I know, but 3 out of 4.
