Trump tweets fake poll about the popularity of the travel ban that doesn't even exist

its an alternative poll
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;51796326]Now you're just trying to nitpick. That graph doesn't even appear on the article reporting it anyways.
It seems like you're just trying to make a fuss about it because you don't agree or want to believe the poll.[/QUOTE]
The poll numbers are super shitty anyway, but nice try with that. I'm sure I'm concerned about literal propaganda because I don't like that people don't agree with me.

There are a lot of things I don't like about Trump, but this one time, I don't see anything false with his statement. The poll explicitly asks if they approve of the executive order, and fact is that 55% of people approve of the ban.
[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;51796579]101%
ok[/QUOTE]
it just means that Trump's orders are 1% better

Are you living in an alternate reality? What more than "the data he presented is not the same data that was polled for" do you need? It's not the same fucking data.
He could have come to his own conclusions, but instead he put it in fucking quotes, edited the presentation to make it appear from the consult, and [I]LIED ABOUT THE QUESTION ASKED.[/I]
I'm still not seeing a difference. The numbers are the same and both questions are, at their core, "do you approve of the Muslim ban?"

What do you think the tweet is trying to say, and how is it misrepresenting things?
Do you think it's trying to claim that the poll's question was "Is the immigration ban one of Trump's most popular policies?" because that question doesn't make any sense.
Saying it's one of the most popular executive orders is like saying that strangulation is one of the better ways to die.
"I reject your reality, and substitute my own!"
Yeah I'm not really seeing how he misrepresented anything.

I'd like to see that compared to previous presidencies, but we've never had to ask that question before

This is fucking terrifying news if this is true. A demagogic, racist, sexist, power-hungry president in charge of a completely corrupt party that controls the entirety of a nation's government is already scary as hell, but when the populace refuses accept the real truth, but accepts the one manufactured by that government, that's when you know shit is absolutely fucked.
Wait, if the travel ban doesn't exist, what is everyone getting upset over?

Even going by the fucked up wording that Trump lied about, the EO regarding federal funding for sanctuary cities is more popular because the disapproval rating is 5 points lower.

Their website seems to be using the same wording on twitter, though this was posted after Donald's tweet.
I'm thinking the screencap could've been taken from some temporary showcase on their website, since the actual question is even more direct and supportive than the "fake question".

Well he did say [b]one[/b] of his most popular orders.
I'd say I'm surprised at the amount of people who agree with it, but then again 55% isn't an overwhelming majority. I suppose I should have expected it would be easy for Trump to manipulate his people's cowardice to his advantage.
I find it extremely strange that the question and graph was changed, but it still attempts to show the same thing. In this case, it's incompetence rather than malice. That said, that data is scary. I can't believe his orders have so much support.

55% approval / 38% disapproval for an extremely controversial executive order is pretty high, and it's arguably his second most popular order out of all of them, which really worries me about his presidency.

Adam and Jamie 2020 please.
After the insistence on alternative facts and truths, I'd really like to just have a pair of SCIENTISTS in the white house.

tbh I won't even call her stupid for not knowing that
I will however call her stupid for acting like people can't disagree contrary to what they """MORALLY SHOULD"""

The wording in his tweet was that the immigration ban is one of his most popular executive orders...which it is. Nothing is misrepresented here, I mean there are a lot of reasons to be angry at Trump, but this is such an inane point to be making.

its more that Trump is the type of guy that thinks of "popular" and sees it as a good thing, even if its popular in an extremely negative way

55% approval of it, while being a little troubling, isn't anything to scoff at or call extremely negative. Besides, the title of this thread and people in it insisting he did something wrong here is also a little troubling for me. You want to hate Trump, hate away, but use the many, many legitimate reasons to do it, and don't try to shoehorn something ridiculous like this in.
It's a bit interesting that he has about 45% approval but 55% apparently support the ban.
