Trump Humiliated as His 'Very Important' Poll Flex Backfires

President Donald Trump made a “very important” Truth Social announcement Saturday to bolster support for his war in Iran.

But he used weeks-old data and apparently didn’t read what he was sharing too closely.

The 79-year-old president reposted an article about a poll finding that most Americans would rather keep Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons than end the war.

“This is where our Nation stands!!!” he wrote, attaching an article dated April 10, despite significant developments since then in the ongoing conflict and continued rises in gas prices, which have fueled public dissatisfaction.

Fabrications pulled out of your ass will do nicely. Nobody has the time to search out, research, and/or fact check. Reality is just not necessary - bloviate, prevaricate, and lie your ass off until the cows come home.

This is the Reality TV Presidency - just sit back, take it all in, and keep tuned to Fux Gnews - the only trusted station.
