Nothing says you have an ego problem like cries for attention when you are the US President. President Donald J Trump this morning took to Twitter to announce his ultra-high support among Republicans, and then to denounce the “5%” who said they did not support the president by using invectives to throw them out.

95% Approval Rating of President Trump in the Republican Party. I would imagine the 5% are the RINOSÃ¢ÂÂ and stupid people who donÃ¢ÂÂt want to see great Judges & Supreme Court JusticeÃ¢ÂÂs, a new & powerful Military, Choice for Vets, 2A Protection, big RegulationCuts, Life, & much more!

It is a scary thing to ask the country what is going on inside of Trump’s imagination. I don’t want to know. I doubt you want to know, and apparently the 5% of Republicans in this fantasy poll do not want to know either. Fantasy polling in the sense that every real poll that anyone has seen shows Trump support, even among his own party, slipping. Trump lays out the case why Democratic voters are pumped up about voting, leading off with Judges & the US Supreme Court as his hope.

In regards to listing “Life”, well, we aren’t done seeing the devastation from COVID, so it is hard to say how well he values life at all.
