Earlier this week, Fox News released a poll showing Joe Biden beating Donald Trump nationally by two points, with 50% of voters saying they’d cast their ballot for the current president and 48% going with the former guy. Can you possibly guessed what happened next?
If you’re a person who’s existed in the world since, oh, 2016, you probably predicted that Trump threw a characteristically unhinged fit about the whole thing—and you predicted right! On Truth Social, the ex-president raged to his followers: “The latest Fox News poll is TRASH! They used a biased, Democrat-leaning sample of voters, polling more Biden 2020 voters than Trump 2020 voters to skew the results in favor of Crooked Joe. I am leading BIG in virtually every other poll, including in all of the key battleground states, like Wisconsin, where I just held a massive rally, and Pennsylvania, where I will be on Saturday.”
He also fumed that the poll showed that voters believe the most important electoral issue of the day is “the future of American democracy,” with the economy coming in second, followed by “stability and normalcy,” health care, and immigration coming in fifth. “The #1 issue in this Country is not protecting democracy,” the guy who famously tried to overturn democracy on January 6, 2021, ranted. “It is INFLATION and IMMIGRATION! If it is protecting democracy, Trump is your best choice, because Crooked Joe Biden is the greatest threat to democracy in history with his Open Border and weaponization of our justice system against his political opponent, ME! Fox News polls have never treated me, or MAGA, fairly! Don’t worry, we will WIN!!! Fox News should get rid of Paul Ryan, and get a new Pollster, but they won’t…”
If that aside about former House Speaker Paul Ryan seems random, it is actually just the latest in a long-standing beef Trump has had with the former congressman, who joined the board of Fox after he left politics. Earlier this week—after Ryan said Trump is “unfit” for office—Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors. He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. [Mitt] Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As a team, they never had a chance. Rupert and Lachlan [Murdoch], get that dog off your Board – You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Very likely that Jesus muttered “what the fuck” to himself while watching this
