Trump threatens pollsters after New York Times survey shows sagging disapproval


President Donald Trump threatened legal consequences for The New York Times after a poll released by the outlet found that independent voters have soured on his leadership at the one-year mark of his second term.

Just 34 percent of independent voters told the New York Times/Siena poll that they approve of the president’s job performance. Fifty-two percent of independents told the Times that they believe the country is worse off than it was last year before Trump took office, while 24 percent said it’s now in a better place. The president took to Truth Social to vent his frustration on Thursday.

The reason is simple:

Facts show Trump is a failure.

He fails at nearly everything unless he cheats, lies and/or steals.

Facts illustrate and expose his failures so he uses the courts as his weapon.

A toddler who grew up rich and spoiled and never was put in his place because he was sheltered.

Are you gonna ask for $ for not putting out polls that show you the most liked president in the history of history? Talk about frivolous lawsuits. This should get laughed out of court yet here we are, a normal day in Trumpistan.

A "sagging disapproval" would indicate an improving approval rating. From the story, I believe it should say "sagging approval". Sagging disapproval is an odd phrasing, anyway you cut it.
