Anderson Cooper Mocked Donald Trump for the Absurdly Skewed Poll His Campaign Sent Supporters, and Now Cooper Has a Poll Question of His Own
CNN

Ridiculist indeed.

After President Donald Trump's supporters were asked to rate his State of the Union address by answering a biased survey, Anderson Cooper featured the questions on 360's "Ridiculist" on Thursday night.

"How would you rate President Trump's State of the Union address?" asked Team Trump in the "Official State of the Union Approval Poll." Participants could choose between "Historic, Great, Good, or Other."


Additional questions included:

  • "Do you believe President Trump delivered a visionary speech of always choosing American Greatness?"
  • "Do you believe Democrats only say they don't want a wall to Harass our great President?"

Oy.

Cooper wanted to know what the "purpose" would be of "gathering this type of information," and asked why the president would "want the results of a skewed survey" in which all the choices mean "you, sir, are awesome."

Anderson Cooper then asked his viewers to also take a different version of the poll.

"How would you rate the president's survey?" Cooper asked. "embarrassing, utterly pointless, a shameless exercise in narcissism, other."

Watch below:

Some people thought it was satire.

Others struggled to accept that it was real.

Hard to tell these days.

Some options were missing.

Good job.

Tucker Carlson Issues Somber Apology For 'Misleading People' Into Supporting Trump: 'We're Implicated In This'

Acknowleding that he's "implicated in this for sure," former Fox News host Tucker Carlson lamented his support for President Donald Trump on his show this week and issued an apology for "misleading people" into supporting him.

Carlson has broken with Trump over different issues over the last several months. His remarks come shortly after he criticized Trump for launching a war with Iran and urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Trump responded by calling Carlson and other high-profile conservative critics “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Karoline Leavitt Gets Brutal Reminder After Claiming Trump 'Follows Through' On His Promises

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was quickly reminded how easily President Trump waffles on his own decisions after she claimed that Trump "does not bluff" when he says he's going to do something.

Leavitt appeared on Fox News to defend Trump's handling of the war in Iran and to criticize media outlets who reported that Trump's claims of progress—which include threatening Iranians with further destruction for not fully opening the Strait of Hormuz—don't align with what's actually happening on the ground.

Prior to 2001, the future at Dreamworks was not looking so bright. One of the final projects they had prepared was Shrek, which no one on the team had high hopes for.

Funnily enough, the members of the team who were assigned to the film considered it a punishment and called it being "Shreked."

Artemis II Astronaut Shares Video Of The 'Earthset' He Captured With His iPhone—And It's Absolutely Stunning

The Artemis II crew has been back on Earth for a little while now after their record-breaking journey around the Moon, traveling the greatest distance from Earth of all previous missions.

The team has already released quite a few well-edited photographs of the view of the Earth around the Moon, as well as the Moon's surface as they circled around it, but the video astronaut Reid Wiseman just shared might be the most impressive artifact we've seen from the trip so far.
