Donald Trump Just Predicted How High His Approval Rating Would Be If Not for the ‘Fake News’ and People Are Dragging Him Hard

You sure about that?

While departing from the White House for a diplomatic mission to Japan, President Donald Trump spoke with the press. When asked for his thoughts on how the multiple investigations into his presidential administration, campaign, businesses and charitable foundation might affect his reelection chances in 2020, the President stated his approval poll numbers were great.

Trump said:


"My poll numbers are very good. I guess we have a 48 today. A 51. We have very good poll numbers considering."

Then the President made a claim that his numbers would be much higher if not for the press.

"I have to tell you, if you people would give straight news, I would be at 70. I’d be maybe a 75."

Trump added:

"You don’t give straight news. You give fake news. With fake news, I’m still winning the election."

Then the President asserted the press is supposed to only give good news.

"If you gave serious good news the way you’re supposed to, I’d probably be at 70 or 75 based on the economy alone."

Watch his remarks here.

But people immediately picked up on Trump's quoted current poll numbers. Conservative polling firm Rasmussen only has the President at 46 percent approval rating in their latest poll. Quinnipiac had the President's approval at just 38 percent.

Exaggeration is nothing new for President Trump and people were quick to point it out.

Some wondered why Trump low-balled it at just 48 percent, 51 percent and 75 percent.

And the rest of the President's remarks did not get a much better reception.

And after accusing the press of sharing fake news, the President admitted to sharing altered video of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

The President headed to Tokyo for meetings with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Trump will also meet new Emperor Naruhito and attend a state dinner. The President also plans to play golf while there.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
