President Donald Trump has long considered news outlet CNN to be among the most insidious of the so-called "fake news media." He's sparred with their reporters, revoked their press passes, and devoted hundreds of his tweets to maligning them.

But if he needed another reason to despise the network, new CNN polling showed Trump has an approval rating of only 38 percent.

The poll follows the trends of others that show Trump's approval rating dwindling in the wake of his widely criticized pandemic response and his treatment of those protesting the murder of George Floyd by police.

As you can imagine, Trump soon responded to the poll on Twitter.

As amazed as Trump was by his low approval rating, others were amazed that it was too high.

What must that 38% be like?



No one seems to believe the President's claim that the polls were rigged against him.




Trump later announced that he'd hired the firm McLaughlin Associates in order to refute the results of the poll.

CNN isn't the only poll that's spelled bad news for Trump. Even the President's beloved Fox News has repeatedly found that he has an uphill battle to win a second term. He responded with a Twitter rant that time as well.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
