TFG Admits He Calls Polls 'Fake' When They Don't Favor Him

Former president Donald Trump copped on Sunday to his long-held strategy for polling and headlines: “If it’s bad, I just say it’s fake!”

“By the way, you have a poll coming out. Unfortunately, I want to know what it is. You know they do that straw poll, right? If it’s bad, I just say it’s fake. If it’s good, I say, ‘That’s the most accurate poll, perhaps, ever,'” he told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

They cheered.

“Fake” has long been Trump’s go-to description of news outlets, headlines and polling he doesn’t like. Recent statements from the one-term president — sent by email since he has been banned from the major social media networks for half a year, for which he is now suing Twitter, Facebook and Google — include references to “the fake Russia Russia Russia hoax,” a “fake interview” on CNN and “the fake news media.”

I'm sure no one aside from the extremely ignorant is surprised.

Perhaps he’ll let something slip of a more illegal nature as dementia progresses. Hope so, anyway.

I guess it takes one to know one. They’d gladly give the country away just to own the Libs.
