    These guys didn't build their profiles with the tabloids. Trump did.

    They don't have to deal with papararzzi like Trump does.

    Not sure there's anything you can do to improve the face of George Soros...other than apply a brown paper bag.

    Bloomberg? 3 time mayor of NYC? No paparazzi in his life? No 'reputation' issues that the NY tabloids would've seized on? Get real.


    Trump's profile was well known to the NY tabloids. It's not like he fell from the sky to start the Apprentice - he was a well-known scam artist in NYC. Speaking as a long-time NYC resident with a relative that worked for the NY Daily News and NY Post, Trump having his 'friends' kill stories about him in the 'studio 54' era was commonplace. Steve Dunleavy, recently deceased columnist, was a big-time water carrier for Trump. Jimmy Breslin didn't like him at least.

    George Soros deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a Nobel Peace prize.

    God bill gates as president, my dreams come true! It's amazing the low quality that the usa put out for leadership, given the talent.

    Another day , another drop in polling from his favourite pollster

    His satisfaction rating has dropped every single day since the start of the Convention.

    He was at 51% Satisfaction last Saturday , and was Tweeting all about it. which was a 2 point increase described as a "surge" in satisfaction.

    Today he's at 46% Approval - a 5% drop when he has been front and centre in the media all week.

    If a 2 point increase is a "Surge" what is a 5 point drop?

    Bloomberg is not a global brand. Other than a vague association with financial market information, nobody really knows him outside the US. Clearly, not even close to the same level as Trump in terms of brand awareness.

    Soros may have done good humanitarian work, but he has a face like a bulldog licking a wasp. Or a lizard chewing on a lemon...not sure which.

    And what does Trump look like without his make up plastered on? Oh that's right, no one knows :pac:

    Apparently the FLOTUS's green dress is something that lends itself to video editing (green screening.) So as you can imagine, the twitterati had a lot of fun with it last night. I didn't realize the #IMPOTUS and the FLOTUS walking down the stairs was actually part of the RNC festivities. I wonder what they did to make the stairs easier to walk down. Maybe the #IMPOTUS practiced, or there are sticky treads or something.

    Anyway, among others, Project Lincoln had fun greenscreeing the dress.

    Rubbish.

    Choose an outcome - say, Trump is being hamered in the polls. Its quite newsworthy. Then, design a few polls with this outcome in mind and... Ta-da - Trump is now falling behind in the polls. Keep it up and it may stick in the minds of voters.

    Except as we all know from 2016, the polls only exist to keep desperate data analysts in work, they have no real value.

    Who is this 'we'? You and your mirror? You talk a lot about 'we.' Have you seen a therapist? Sometimes, yinno, those little men whispering in your ear don't exist. It's one of the many symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. You can look it up.

    In 2016, it was called within the margin of error at the end. And, that's how it unfortunately turned out.

    But wait. Trump is constantly telling us how great his poll numbers are with republicans.

    Proof that the deepstate is out to get him? Proof that the Obamas are to blame? Proof that the lefties are trying to undermine him? Proof that Biden supporters can read polls correctly? Etc etc. 🙂

    As already pointed out, Trump was within the margin of error in 2020. So it was not a polling or statistical blunder. Entirely different this time around, also they're not fixing polls...

    Men who aren't masculine, tend to react negatively to traditionally masculine men. There is some evolutionary psychology at play here.

    This is the key takeaway from observing Trumps detractors. Along with how readily some people will sell their souls to the reds under the bed.

    Christ you're deluded. A traditionally masculine male has some muscles for starters. He's a fat oaf. Masculine men don't wear make up or fake tan which El Trumpo wears in abundance. The dressing rooms I shared with gaelic and soccer players were masculine. El Trumpo would have been laughed out of the place.

    And there's definitely no evolutionary psychology at play here. Just someone posting utter nonsense. I have to say there's clutching at straws but you've even surpassed that.

    The polling company is Rasmussen - Trumps favourite pollster - He tweeted their poll results just last week. Thanking everyone for him reaching 51% last Friday/Saturday.

    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1296461160502505472

    They are in fact the ONLY pollster that he tweets about - Although only when they show him blipping above 50%.


    Immediately after this tweet , the very next daily poll from them showed a drop and it has continued to drop ever since.

    Now - Daily polling is sort of meaningless really as it is by it's nature very volatile , the weekly or monthly trends are far more interesting.

    And what that shows is that even with a very GOP friendly pollster , Trump has not averaged above 50% for his entire Presidency.

    For some reason, #2 Son Eric showed up at a FEMA meeting. I guess being a Trump means, do whatever the fcuk you want, wherever the fcuk you want to. Or, maybe was waiting for Daddy. Glad to know security's not an issue for these meetings.

    Democrats better stop supporting lawlessness and calling the protests peaceful as otherwise the man they so despise will be serving another four years. They should have been supporting him all along and calling for an end to the mindless violence but they chose to speak around it thereby endorsing it. Hopefully the American public will remember that in November and not choose to elect someone who clearly has no regard for the safety of Americans and will for sure just enable the radical left to keep up with their attacks on the fabric of Western society.

    These people are dangerous and need to be stopped. Career politicians like Biden getting into power would do even more damage than Obama's tenure did.

    Donald. A user supporting Donald also not bringing up the same is hardly surprising, and in fairness not an obligation.

    Its interesting that a bit of rough play is interpreted as an ' attack ' . Complete rubbish of course. They all went out for shots of vodka after. Laughing at the desperate media.

    So after 4 US soldiers suffered concussions from a deliberate attack by Russian forces, you have evidence, somewhere, that they all went for shots of vodka? I'd love to see that.
