CNN was put on hold for a breaking Donald Trump was on live alert from outside the White House in Washington, DC, as he fielded questions from reporters about the Iran conflict. The US president bragged about a CNN poll that showed him with a 100% approval rating among MAGA supporters. A reporter asked the world leader: “Our polls will show you that MAGA is essentially unified behind you when it comes to Iran. There have been reports that the United States may send 2,500 marines to the Middle East. Are you concerned that such a move could potentially alter unity?”
Trump responded: “Well, I don’t know. I seem to be getting huge support because CNN came out with a poll today that has me at 100 percent, and they said they’ve never seen a poll like this.”
He then repeated himself, “The CNN poll said I’m at 100 percent and they’ve never seen anything like it before, which is an honor. I was impressed that CNN would do that. But as far as the troops are concerned, I can’t tell you what we’re doing.”
Viewers came to X in droves to comment on the clip, with one person writing: “Is he okay?” Another said: “Quick, someone give him another cognitive test. I’m not sure he’ll be able to recognize what an elephant looks like anymore.”
Meanwhile, a third commented: “The tragic effects of advanced cognitive decline.” Someone else wrote: “He’s gone completely crazy! Get that guy in the straitjacket out of the WH already!”
Others noted how Trump has made a massive U-turn on CNN, having previously labeled the channel “fake news” on several occasions. Someone wrote: “So CNN is no longer fake news?? How hypocritical.”
Another claimed: “The average of the current CNN ‘poll of polls’ puts his general approval at 38 percent and disapproval at 59 percent. Not even close to his 100 percent claim.”
“The 100 percent rating he mentioned is support only among self-identified MAGA Republicans.”
