Wait, WHAT?! Trump Claims 64% Approval Rating While Polls Say... *Checks Notes*... 44%?!

WTF Just Happened

President Trump just dropped a Truth Social bomb, insisting his "real" approval rating is an astronomical 64 percent! Like, wait, WHAT? The actual, verifiable polls, you know, the ones that exist in this reality, show him chilling closer to 44.1 percent.

Is this a math problem? A typo? Are we just making numbers up now? This cannot be real life, right?

Wait, HOW Did This Happen?

So, how did we get here? President Trump, currently facing some seriously rocky political territory – hello, Democratic wins in 2025, inflation, and those Epstein files, yikes! – just decided to declare a victory lap on his own terms.

He's yelling "polls are rigged!" and claiming the country is "hotter than ever." Who approved this narrative? Who looked at 44.1% and thought, "Yeah, let's just round that up to 64%?" Is this a new kind of political arithmetic?

Are We Serious Right Now?

Okay, but actually are we serious? Let’s break down the sheer audacity of this:

• He claimed a 64 percent approval rating, while actual polling averages from Decision Desk HQ put him nearly 20 points lower at 44.1 percent. Hello, reality check!
• He’s talking about a "STRONG BORDER," "No Inflation," and a "great Economy" while inflation is rising and job reports are "lackluster." Is this an alternate dimension?
• He promised an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus" economy, then blamed former President Biden when things went sideways.

  "Classic move," but still, HOW does this keep happening?

• Even Karl Rove, a Republican strategist, is saying people are "tiring of his hyperbole and insatiable desire for retribution." The cracks are showing, even within his own party!
• He’s feuding with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and seeing GOP-favored bills fail. Yet, he's convinced everyone's just going to agree because his achievements are "the biggest, best and most amazing in American history." Is this some kind of Jedi mind trick we don't know about?

So… What Happens Now?

So, what's next in this wild ride? We’re probably going to see more of the same: continued defiance of polling data, more blaming of "rigged" systems, and a lot more self-declared victories. Will Republicans, already showing signs of rebellion, push back harder?

Will the public truly tire of the "hyperbole and insatiable desire for retribution" as Karl Rove suggests? Or will this become the new normal where facts are optional and feelings are primary? Are we just going to keep guessing what the actual reality is from day to day? I need a nap, or maybe a very strong coffee. This cannot be real… right?
