Trump aides scrambling to hide his ‘dumpster fire’ poll numbers to keep him from ‘flying into a rage’: report

Published 3 hours ago on June 14, 2020


According to a report from the Daily Beast, aides to Donald Trump are doing their best to keep him in the dark about his terrible poll numbers prior to November’s selection out of fear of his wrath.

With the president’s poll numbers plummeting in a match-up with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, White House staffers and campaign officials are trying to keep the president calm while at the same time working to turn around a re-election campaign that is floundering.

Case in point, criticism of a recent poll that showed the president headed to defeat that had the campaign asking for a retraction.

.........The report notes that aides are assuring the president that there is a lack of “enthusiasm” for his opponent and that the polling could be wrong................

1. He can fly into a rage straight out a second story window

for all I care. Or he can stroke out. Either way works for me.

And how man true leaders of mankind are surrounded by people cowering because of their leader's moods?

Everything about him is unworthy. Calling him an American is an insult to the ideals described in our founding documents.

32. Ten story building? Maybe 80 for better results?

[BamaRefugee]

2. When is he NOT in a rage? Why bother?

[Grokenstein]

3. Seriously, what's terrifying about his "wrath"?

He's at Maximum Asshole all day long.
What's he doing to do, hit the button?
"Dear" Republicans: If he's going to do THAT, he should be removed from office.

[Chemisse]

19. "What's he doing to do, hit the button?"

I would NOT put that past him.

[Journeyman]

6. For those in his "entourage," it's about keeping their jobs until November, hopefully January . . .

As he "flies into rage" he's more likely to start chopping heads and those around him want to stay on the gravy train as long as possible.

Look at Parscale, his media "guru": he's busy buying properties and autos, boats and other toys, 'cause he knows the train's about to derail. All he's interested in now is keeping Donnie Diapers from throwing a Tantrump and kicking his ass to the curb. That's why, a month ago, when a particularly bad poll put the WATB all akimbo, Parscale flew up from Florida to soothe His MAGAtsty with a fresh set of great polling numbers Parscale pulled out of his ass on the flight to see the Tangerine Toddler.

9. I think you're spot on -

these asshats wanna ride that gravy train until the bitter end, and they probably figure that if Trump flies off the handle because of his cratering poll numbers and his flailing campaign, he'll sack the lot of them and the grift comes to an end.

It's in their monetary interests to keep Trump in the dark as to the precariousness of his electoral situation.

[Mister Ed]

4. Reminds me of how, in the end...

...Hitler's generals were reduced to deploying imaginary divisions around the map in the board room, just to keep him from flying into another of his bouts of unrestrained, delusional rage.

10. oh the simularities add up!!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

5. I saw one of their "What A Magnificient President You Are, President Trump!" ads.

The thing that bothered me most was that they used the flyby of the Blue Angels over his "It's All About ME!!!" July Fourth celebration. I thought the use of military assets in a political campaign was prohibited. I could be wrong -- it seems nothing he does is illegal.

[riversedge]

11. It is a good guestion. sorry, I do not know.

[paleotn]

7. Let him fly into a rage....

It serves our purposes well.

[Jersey Devlin]

13. Yesssss!

And so do Big Macs and Taco Bell.

[ananda]

8. That is so cool, Biden running!

12. In the middle of a pandemic and a nationwide protest movement about race, the president is obsessed

with his poll numbers, and some of his staff have to spend their time smooth-talking him. This makes the regime's reactions to the actual emergencies even worse, and so his poll numbers get worse. And people die, lose their jobs, their businesses ... it's a vicious circle, thanks to the vicious circus animal at the centre of it.

[milestogo]

14. Why don't they just let him fly into a rage.

He's supposed to be a fucking president. If he can't handle poll numbers, he should resign now.

[onetexan]

15. agree, i'd say let him do us all a favor & pop a vein

[tom_kelly]

16. Yeah, keep him believing he's winning

and it will embolden him to refuse to leave in January. He’ll really believe it was rigged. By then those same people will be long gone counting their money with one eye over their shoulder for the rest of their lives.

[LiberalLovinLug]

17. There are many reasons why I cannot understand how ANYONE could support him

But even IF you are convinced his actions while in office have been for the better, like dismantling the ACA, or stripping environmental protections, firing the IG. discrimination laws reversed towards LGBQ, "tougher" refuge treatment, tax breaks for the wealthy, etc.....

The one that baffles me the most is the blind acceptance of his spoiled arrogant man-baby character. Whining and blaming. Juvenile high school level insults at his detractors. That cowardly, weak, insecurity. How does anyone think he is leadership material? How does he retain that 40%?

[yellowdogintexas]

23. my husband is totally obsessed in a very despondent way with that damn 40%

It is frightening isn't it?

I do not understand it, I can't explain it - it boggles the mind.

Who is being polled to get those numbers?

[Hotler]

24. It's less about supporting the orange one and more about screwing over Democrats.

The hate for Libtards in these folks is large.

[LymphocyteLover]

29. Agree, 100%. They must only care about the power they get through him

no matter the damage done to the country. I'm sure at some level they think they are protecting the country from the worst of him but that's so deluded and wrong-headed when he's so clearly unfit.

[BigmanPigman]

18. He is freaking out inside his head right now!

All that hand shaking and being off balance are signs of being super stressed for a long time, I had the exact same uncontrollable behavior and signs for a while when I was stressed. Maybe he will stroke out and give us a real reason to party (socially distancing and wearing masks, of course).

He is terrified...making him more dangerous than ever.

[RDANGELO]

20. All he has to do is go to realclearpolitics.com.

Maybe we should send him a twitter note suggesting that. I don't have a twitter account.

[Skittles]

21. I swear they are medicating him

he is practically drooling

[LymphocyteLover]

28. that's Noel Casler says-- he has people who either juice him up with stimulants or

calm him down with relaxants and constantly walk a fine line with him with his medications. He is not a well man and maybe he will do us all a favor and have a severe enough medical episode that he has to withdraw from the election.

[Lock him up.]

22. What a bunch of disgusting wimps!

WEAK colon suckers.

AFRAID of the dividing maggot.


Lock him up.

[LymphocyteLover]

27. his lickspittle staff are disgusting-- they are selling out the country for their own selfish ends

Trump is a sick sick man and they don't seem to GAF

[SKKY]

25. Here is what bothers me about polls when it comes to DT...

...what if the people being polled, out of embarrassment, don't want to admit they will vote for Trump? I've seen so much strange shit these past three years, I genuinely don't know if I trust someone (Outside of everyone on DU) who says they're for Biden to actually NOT vote for Trump again. Call me paranoid I guess.

[LymphocyteLover]

26. I'm sure that happens to some extent and they said it helped explain his win in 2016

but I really doubt hit explains his low ratings especially now, how it's obvious to everyone not in his cult how terrible he is

[SKKY]

31. I hope that's right. I've got a lot of hope based on that very point.

[apnu]

30. Why do they coddle Trump so?

He's a gown man. If he rages, let him rage. If his poll numbers suck that's on Trump, he the boss, its his to fix and lead.

The amount of time and energy they expend to keep him coddled and insulated like a toddler is astounding.

He acts like a baby because the people around him reinforce to him that he is, in fact, a baby.
