‘They are sick’: Trump says news agencies suffer from ‘Trump Degeneration Syndrome’ after lowest 100 day approval rating
As Donald Trump looks to complete 100 days at the White House, his approval ratings are at a record low. However, Trump has rejected the polls, saying they are fake.
Donald Trump has rejected the approval ratings from various news agencies that came after 100 days of his presidency, calling the, “fake polls from fake news organisations”.
In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump cited pollster John McLaughlin as he made the claims.
“Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS,” he said.
He said that news organisations are looking for a ‘negative’ result and should be investigated for ‘election fraud’.
“The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are. These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it,” Trump said.
The US President took further jibes at the news agencies, saying that they suffer from the “Trump Derangement Synndrome”, calling them ‘sick’
“They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse. They suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it. THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing (99.9% at the Border, BEST NUMBER EVER!), AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! I wish them well, but will continue to fight to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump said.
Donald Trump's approval rating lowest in decades
Donald Trump stepped into the Oval Office for the second time as US President earlier this year and is all set to complete 100 days of his presidency. While Trump has made huge promises for US in these few days, Americans do not approve of it.

His approval rating of 41 per cent is the lowest for any US President elected in the recent decades with regards to 100 days at office, and dates back to at least the term of Dwight Eisenhower.
As per the CNN poll, Donald Trump's approval rating for handling the presidency has tanked 4 points from March and 7 points lower from late February.
Donald Trump took over as the 47th President of the United States on January 20. He will complete 100 days at the office on April 29.
