Trump: ‘Any Negative Polls Are Fake News’
Claims people do like his ban despite evidence to the contrary.
During an early-morning tweetstorm, President Trump appeared to claim that any opinion polls casting him or his administration in a bad light must have been faked. He wrote, “Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.” A CNN/ORC poll on Friday suggested that 53 percent of Americans opposed the ban. Trump is the least popular president—when measured after two weeks in office—since polling records began.

I call my own shots, largely based on an accumulation of data, and everyone knows it. Some FAKE NEWS media, in order to marginalize, lies!
