But WAIT, there's MORE: Trump re-tweets poll that concludes he's a better president than Obama.

I'm not providing the link to this one, because I'm not going to send "Progress Polls" any traffic. It's on Trump's Twitter feed if you need to see it.

Unless this is an automated vote and they just told the program to vote over 28k times and make sure the result was 60:40, plus minus 1.

That's where George W. Bush got his "news"...Card had a DVD burned daily from Fox News, that that was Junior's sole source of news and information.

The same thing's happening with Trump. The difference I see is that while Card obviously "filtered" the news...simply by virtue of the fact that the only source was Fox...he was far less vociferous in demanding that ONLY flattering content and stories that endlessly name-checked his great boss made it onto the DVD.

He pushed heavy alt-right styled pro-Trump, pro-Brexit and anti-immigrant/anti-Muslim propaganda during the 2016 election.

He only came up with the "Progress Polls" moniker two weeks ago.
