CNN posts a total hit-piece on Trump, disguised as a poll

Two days ago (1/16/2026) CNN posted a total hit-piece "poll" on Trump.  Title:

CNN poll finds majority of Americans say Trump is focused on the wrong priorities

Virtually every alleged "result" published is exactly what the lying bastards in the f'n Mainstream Media have been pushing for the past year--and all during his first term as well.  I've edited the hit-piece for length:

Public opinion on nearly every aspect of Trump’s first year back in the White House is negative, with a majority of Americans saying Trump is focused on the wrong priorities and doing too little to address cost of living.

Wait...Is this the same Mainstream Media that tried to totally ignore ten percent inflation under bribem?  Why yes, yes it is.  And of course under DJT inflation is now 2.7%.  But watch how often this bullshit survey claims "dis economy is awful!"

58% say the first year of Trump’s term is a failure.

There’s hardly any good news in the poll for Trump or the Republican Party entering a critical midterm year, with the president’s handling of the economy as the defining issue in key midterm races.

Asked to choose their top issue, Americans chose the economy by almost two-to-one over any other topic.  The poll suggests Trump is struggling to prove that he’s addressing it.  And it finds broad concerns over Trump’s use of presidential power and his efforts to put his stamp on American culture. 

Views of economic conditions have remained stable — and largely negative — for the past two years, with only 3 in 10 rating the economy positively.

Wait..."for the past TWO years," y'say?  How long has Trump been in office?  Yeah, ONE year.  So this is a cunning way of equating today's economy to bribem's last year in (nominal) office--which was awful.  To take just one example, the price of gasoline between Jan 15 of 2024 and today has dropped by 30 percent.  Eggs are affordable again.  The only reason electricity is up in the northeast is that Democrat-ruled state and city governments are piling huge taxes on it, and forcing plants to shut down.

The poll shows pessimism about the future: Just over 4 in 10 expect the economy to be good a year from now, down from 56% just before Trump took office last January.

55% said Trump’s policies have worsened economic conditions in the country, with just 32% saying they’ve improved. 

64% said he hasn’t done enough to reduce the price of everyday goods.  Even within the GOP about half say he should be doing more.

Just 36% said Trump is "prioritizing their interests."  Only one-third say they believe Trump "cares about people like them." 

Just 37% said Trump puts the good of the country above his personal gain, and only 32% agreed that he’s "in touch with the problems ordinary Americans face in their daily lives." 

CNN includes a quote from an alleged independent:  "He comes across very self-seeking and not caring about the common good of our citizens.”  SEE?  Dat wuz an independent, so "they" iz, like, totally unbiased!

If you don't yet realize the entire CNN piece is total horseshit, consider this next bullshit:

 Fewer than half said Trump had the stamina and sharpness to serve effectively.

Wait...is this from the same Lying Media that bleated to us every day for four interminable years that the moronic, brain-dead vegetable bribem was "sharp as a tack"?  Why yes, yes it is.

Only 35% said they were proud to have him as president.

Public opinion on nearly every aspect of his presidency is negative. His ratings dropped within the first 100 days of his second term and have stayed in the low 40s or high 30s since then.

Trump does retain robust support with Republicans, with nearly 9 in 10 approving of Trump’s performance.  But just 29% of independents approve, and virtually no Democrats support him. Only 30% of Latinos and adults younger than 35 now approve.

Let's review: after that utterly corrupt piece of shit bribem wailed that he didn't have the authority to close the border, Trump did it in one month.  Trump ordered our military to sink high-speed drug-smuggling boats--which the Lying Media the heart-rendingly claimed were just poor Venezuelan fishermen.
   He leveled the playing field in world trade by imposing the same tariffs on foreign nations that those nations imposed on U.S. goods.  Liberals screamed dat dis wuz UNFAIR to doze nice nations.  Fuck you, shitheads. 
   When Iran started enriching uranium to bomb grade and continued to refuse to allow inspections of their centrifuge lines, Trump authorized a daring attack that put those enrichment facilities out of business--without losing a single aircraft or crewmember!
   When chuckie Schumer sneered that Trump hadn't done anything about Maduro during his first term, and then Trump had our troops arrest the son of a bitch (Maduro, not Schumer) a couple of weeks ago, Schumer then bitched about that!  Pick a lane, asshole.

"Most respondents say Trump’s use of power has gone too far.  While most Americans say the economy is their top concern, Democrats said our democracy is their top issue.  It's also the top reason Americans disapprove of the president’s performance.  About a quarter of those who disapprove of Trump say they do so because of his misuse of presidential power or treatment of American democracy.

The communist sons of whores at CNN know that most people have three "hot button issues:" the economy, democracy, and "fairness"--all of which are quite logical.  So every Mainstream Media hit-piece will scream about one or more of those three--as this hit-piece does with every sentence.

58% say Trump has gone too far in using the power of the presidency.

CNN tips its hand when it adds that at the beginning of Trump's second term polls claimed 52% of Americans already agreed with that statement.  That is, before he'd taken a single action.  If that's true, it shows an obvious irrationality, since it was before any presidential act.  Also, for CNN's pro-Democrat "poll" to claim 52% already thought Trump had "gone too far" as he took office, it's odd that Trump won the popular vote, eh?

57% say he's gone too far in cutting federal programs.  About half say he’s gone too far in changing the way that the US government works.

Who defends massive, fraud-ridden, wasteful federal programs, eh?  Sure: not only fraudsters, but also federal workers in the agencies that handle those gargantuan wastes and theoretically should have quickly caught massive fraud.  [In your dreams, eh?]  Try turning the question around: Ask Americans "What dollar amount of fraud and waste in federal programs should taxpayers be willing to tolerate?"

Now: the cunning wording of the article shows it's  pro-Democrat bullshit.  But no conservative should dismiss it--because propaganda like this is totally effective on low-info voters, who don't know a thing about fraud and corruption in fed programs--and don't want to know.  So the Mainstream Media pay almost no attention to massive fraud and waste, as we've seen in Minnesota, Maine, Ohio and Washington state.  
   Low-info voters don't believe any of that is real.  And ironically, one of the main reasons they don't believe it happened is because they believe that "If it were true, the Media woulda tol' us!"  What they don't understand is that the Mainstream Media always covers for Democrat fraud.  Yes, always.  Every time.  Because exposing massive fraud (literally BILLIONS of dollars) by Democrat supporters, looting Democrat-demanded programs, might make a few voters less likely to elect Democrats, eh?
   What low-info voters CAN understand--and easily believe--is: "What do most Americans (the 'cool kidz' they've always wanted to be) think of Trump and conservative policies?"

This phenomenon is so well known that it was identified a century ago:  It's called "the bandwagon effect."  If that term is new to ya, look it up.

Of course low-info voters won't--because they are totally impervious to any information that contradicts what they've been taught to believe.

SO...based on hit-pieces like CNN's, I predict the Dems will win a majority in the House in the mid-terms in November.  And of course that's all they need to block ALL efforts to pass laws to cut waste and fraud in government programs.  And the irony is, the Mainstream Media will be positively orgasmic over the Democrat win, exalting that the Dems are now able to block any conservative laws from being passed.

Of course the Media won't say it that way:  their endless gloats will say "Congress can now prevent any further abuses of power by Orange Hitler and his band of 'maggats.'"
