Trump Shockingly Finishes First In New Poll -- And It's Not About The Election

Most Republicans trust Donald Trump more than the Pentagon or the news media for information about the war in Ukraine, a surprising CBS News poll revealed Sunday.

Nearly 80% of Republicans take the criminally indicted former president at his word on the conflict.

Meanwhile, 60% of Republicans trust the Pentagon, putting the military source a little ahead of Fox News and other conservative media, which came in at 56%. A mere 33% trusted journalists reporting from the war zone, while 27% put faith in the State Department.




The results indicate that Trump is winning the battle of public perception within his own party — at least in regard to Ukraine.

Sounds like most people with functioning brains have left the Republican party.

And honestly really, really depressing. What chance does our country have to stay a democracy with these types of thinkers, especially in those numbers.

surveys will go up. When the numbers reach 100%, there's gonna be a whole lot less voting Republicans in the fold.

Were ours a truly free press, the Sick Fuck would be held to account for his lies -- big, small and repeated.

Incapable of learning. Of course the US media, 905 of which is owned by the far right and backed by Putin must share some of the blame.

Fourth grade?

Just because kids graduate from high school doesn't mean they have the mental and other skills.
