First, we must remember: They only show you what they want you to see. Second, they lie. Whenever someone tells me that they read or heard something about politics or the news, my first question is, “From whom?”
According to the mainstream media, a number of polls are showing that President Trump’s immigration policies are slowly losing public support, including among Republicans. Initially, President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda received great support. His appearance upon the political scene back in 2015 was anchored by his immigration policy that included the deportation of illegal aliens. His opponents have framed his immigration policies as tyrannical, and Hitleric. They figure if they say it often enough, you will begin to believe them.
Except, Trump’s policies regarding immigration are as popular as ever.
If you won’t believe their lies, then they need to convince you that your neighbors believe what they are saying. Perhaps that will wear you down and make you turn against Trump. So, they now offer polls saying that the popularity of President Trump’s immigration policies, particularly regarding the use of ICE, is wavering. The problem is, that also is false.
According to a new poll from CBS News, President Trump’s approval rating among Republicans stands at a solid 90%.
That is interesting. How is it that CNN, and MSNow, and ABC, and NBC all claim Trump’s popularity is wavering, and I’ve even seen some of their polls say his popularity is under 50% among Republicans, yet CBS’s poll says he’s at 90%? And the thing is, it’s much higher than even CBS used to report.
CBS has done something different than their mainstream cousins. The new head of CBS News is Bari Weiss. She’s not a conservative, per se, but she is a straight shooter. When ideology is set aside, the truth can be amazing. When you push away the lies, the reality is, President Donald Trump is the most popular President in U.S. History, aside from perhaps George Washington.
