President Donald Trump used a campaign rally in Michigan on Monday night to once again spread falsehoods about his popularity, claiming he is leading in “every single poll” despite a raft of recent data showing the opposite. In a characteristically combative speech, Trump told supporters that mainstream polling was “rigged” and “totally fake” asserting without evidence that his approval rating is “the highest it’s ever been.” In reality, national polls released in the past week show Trump’s support falling with approval ratings dipping below 40%.
In a comment which added fears to an undermining of the criminal justice and democratic system, the President said:
“We cannot allow a handful of communist, radical-left judges to obstruct the enforcement of our laws.”
