The Best Republican Ever
Trump again suggested to the whole wide world that he’s the most popular Republican of all time according to some “poll”. Which poll is a total mystery, and his claims on top of that are equally bizarre. He’s still claiming that he’s even more popular in the polls than Abraham Lincoln. Now, I’ve said this before, but it’s actually IMPOSSIBLE for him to know that. There were no real polling system in Lincoln’s time. Also what is he comparing that to? His popularity at the time? Because yeah, he presided over a war and basically altered the fabric of the economy by emancipating a race of people, in a time when Racism was still the normal thing. But Trump won’t be bothered to clear anything up. He did suggest in his tweet that perhaps someone should check the numbers because this assessment couldn’t possibly be right, and to that, I think we ALL agree. Mind you, if you check those numbers and decide there is nothing even remotely truthful about that statement, good luck not being called “fake news”.
The Most Popular
So Donald Trump thinks he’s the best thing since the Beatles, but everyone knows this. It’s basically his slogan to the world. He’s the best, he’s a genius, a man among men and every woman’s dream. And he wants everyone else to share in on that enthusiasm he has for himself. In an interview he gave during his time in the UK, Trump proclaimed himself the most popular Republican of all time, more popular than even Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator himself. Now there are a few things wrong in that statement, which should make you feel better if find yourself screaming in anger at your computer screen. First off, no one knows what he’s basing that statement on. There was a recent poll that suggested that among about 88% Republicans, he’s pretty popular right now. But that certainly doesn’t make him the most popular Republican in history. In fact, most Republican presidents since the age of polling began have been as popular and more during their time. Secondly, and this is a big one, Abraham Lincoln didn’t live in an era of polling. We have no numbers at all to indicate what the consensus of him was during his time, and I can assure you, during our time? He’s basically considered a superhero. There is an actual blockbuster film centered on the premise of Lincoln being a superhero monster hunter. The fact is, I feel fairly confident that there is only one group of people in Trump’s “base” that would consider him more popular than Lincoln, and I have to wonder, is that where he’s getting his information?
Approval Ratings
Trump sent out his own approval poll so he could see how he was doing. Though it’s important to note that the only people who are taking the poll are people who already support him and that there is no option to give him a bad rating on the poll. So, you know, totally fair. It then goes on to reference the Mainstream Media as the “Fake News Media” in a question about whether his approval rating is being reported fairly. The pettiness gave me chills.
