In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump Demands Investigations Into Negative Approval Rating Polls [View all]3catwoman3
(26,586 posts)86. Graydon Carter, former Vanity Fair editor, really nailed it when he said...
..."Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer." Carter famously called him "a short-fingered vulgarian,"
which, by all accounts, totally infuriated Trump.
"To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of himgenerally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers," Carter wrote. "I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby."

Of course he did this, but unless he's running for an unconstitutional 3rd term, how is it election interference?

It doesn't have to make sense, as long as MAGA gets the message he's the victim of lies and radical left conspiracy

Trump just draws more attention to his negative polls, and it makes him look weak and petty. Stupid!
