After being briefed on a devastating 17-state poll conducted by his campaign pollster, Tony Fabrizio, Mr. Trump told aides to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing Mr. Biden in many of the states he needs to win, even though he is also trailing in public polls from key states like Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania. And when top-line details of the polling leaked, including numbers showing the president lagging in a cluster of critical Rust Belt states, Mr. Trump instructed aides to say publicly that other data showed him doing well.

7. Wow. He thinks that just by lying about it, he

can turn everything around? Whine enough. Lie enough. Snivel enough.

It's always worked for him before, by all accounts.

Perhaps he should never have run for President, eh?

Trump is trailing in Texas?

That would be almost a Reagan/Nixon/LBJ type landslide if Donny Dollhands lost Texas.
