It’s Wednesday.
The President has mini-ranted, deleted part of that mini-rant, only to re-issue the same mini-rant.
So far the President has tweeted 7 times.
Deleted Mini Rant
The Tweets
“Someone should call Obama up. The Obama Administration spied on a rival presidential campaign using Federal Agencies. I mean, that seems like a headline to me?” @TuckerCarlson It will all start coming out, and the Witch Hunt will end. Presidential Harassment!

The above tweet was sent at 12:28 a.m. eastern time.
…..The Fake (Corrupt) News Media said they had a leak into polling done by my campaign which, by the way and despite the phony and never ending Witch Hunt, are the best numbers WE have ever had. They reported Fake numbers that they made up & don’t even exist. WE WILL WIN AGAIN!

This above tweet was part of the deleted thread, but somehow this tweet was not deleted, but was re-issued later in the morning.
Wow! Just got word that our June 18th, Tuesday, ANNOUNCEMENT in Orlando, Florida, already has 74,000 requests for a 20,000 seat Arena. With all of the big events that we have done, this ticket looks to be the “hottest” of them all. See you in Florida!

The Fake News has never been more dishonest than it is today. Thank goodness we can fight back on Social Media. Their new weapon of choice is Fake Polling, sometimes referred to as Suppression Polls (they suppress the numbers). Had it in 2016, but this is worse…..

On Monday The New York Times reported that after Tony Fabrizio, President Trump’s pollster, briefed the President on the results of a 17 state poll that showed the President’s reelection numbers trailing former Vice President Joe Biden, the President told aides to deny that his internal polls showed him down against Biden.
As the article notes, public polls show the President is also struggling in “key states like Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania. And when top-line details of the polling leaked, including numbers showing the president lagging in a cluster of critical Rust Belt states, Mr. Trump instructed aides to say publicly that other data showed him doing well.”
The article goes on to explain that according to people familiar with a meeting, the President had with his campaign manager Brad Parscale, in Florida, that the President was “consistently distracted and wanted to discuss other things,” specifically according to the article, the President wanted to focus on his current approval rating.
In the past the President has complained about traveling, but he has then lashed out at his aides demanding to know, “Why am I not doing more rallies?”
On June 11th, Qinnipiac released a head to head poll that shows several of the Democratic Presidential hopefuls beating President Trump.
- Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders over President Trump 51 – 42 percent;
- California Sen. Kamala Harris ahead of Trump 49 – 41 percent;
- Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren tops Trump 49 – 42 percent;
- South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg edges Trump 47 – 42 percent;
- New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker by a nose over Trump 47 – 42 percent.
The poll PDF goes on to explain that in a head to head match-up with Biden, “women back Biden 60 – 34 percent, as men are divided with 47 percent for Biden and 46 percent for Trump. White voters are divided with 47 percent for Trump and 46 percent for Biden. The Democrat leads 85 – 12 percent among black voters and 58 – 33 percent among Hispanic voters.”
Qunnipiac surveyed 1,214 voters nationwide with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
