The G.O.P. felon is deliberately setting up another huge stinking national tantrum because he ain't getting his way.

The republicon is a totally toxic liar. And the G.O.P. loves him for his lies.

In order to be brilliant, he must convince himself that he's outsmarted everyone. Pulling the wool over one's eyes feeds his sense of power and dominance.

if he's this calm about paying $500,000 for a poll he thinks is fake, it's because he wants it to be fake.

being used for propaganda is becoming more credible. Imagine that.

So many important factors here.

Manafort is still playing even though he's not official, and manipulating polls seems to be in his wheelhouse when it comes to having pooty help. Since he's probably being monitored, leon is filling in since he appears to have free rein to break laws all over the planet with impunity because he's rich.

The polls have been manipulated for a long time, it's been normalized as the polls are weaponized.

Eyes on the prize, guys. Don't be led astray by the firehose of bullshit and disinfo, like polls. You know what to do.
