Deluded Trump, 80, Self-Soothes With Fantasy in All-Caps Meltdown

President Donald Trump declared his approval was the highest it has ever been in an unhinged social media post on Wednesday, as his approval hit a new record low.

“MY REAL POLL NUMBERS ARE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. THANK YOU!!!” Trump wrote in the all-caps Truth Social post.

It was the latest in a series of self-soothing posts by the president early on Wednesday. He did not provide any such “real poll numbers” to back his statement. But it came as multiple polls on his approval showed quite the opposite.

The poll by American Research Group showed just 30 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, while 66 percent disapprove, the highest Trump disapproval ever recorded by the pollster during either of his two terms.

The poll came out just one day after the latest Marist poll found that Trump’s approval was at 36 percent, the lowest of his second term for that poll as well. His disapproval was at 59 percent, tied with the month before at its highest level.

A doctor is talking to a male patient whose right arm is grotesquely muscularly overdeveloped. The doc says, “Yeah, doing that won’t hurt you but you should use your other hand once in a while..”

He is hallucinating, as usual.
