(145,631 posts)3. Number of Americans who trust Trump over the media hits a record low
This make me smile https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/12/number-americans-who-trust-trump-over-media-has-hit-record-low/?utm_term=.9fb85c0f0ae0
But Trump is not winning the war when it comes to whether people trust him over the mainstream media. According to the most recent Quinnipiac poll, the percentage of Americans who trust Trump over the mainstream media has dropped four percentage points since the last time the poll was done at the beginning of the summer. Only 30 percent of people trust the president over the mainstream media, the lowest number over the past 10 months....
Even a number of groups that Trump won trust him less than they do the mainstream media.
More than half (54 percent) of independents a group Trump won in 2016 that has since soured on him trust the media more than they do the president. Twenty-seven percent of independents trust Trump over the mainstream media.
Half of men (51 percent) trust the media over Trump. Only about a third (32 percent) of men trust the commander in chief over the media.
Nearly half (49 percent) of white people trust the media over Trump. Thirty-eight percent trust the president more.
But no one distrusts the president more than black people. Eight percent of black people trust Trump more than the media.

gratuitous
(82,849 posts)5. And yet, for some reason . . .
The popular media just can't resist interviewing Trump supporters and treating them like oracles. They never seem to be able to find citizens who don't care for Trump to ask them why they loathe this impostor so much.

and fought it with deceptive hype and obstruction. Idiot.

(34,185 posts)7. I'd like to attribute that to the convictions, pleas, and other info
But clearly, Trump is failing.
