Donald Trump: I'm Unsure If Abe Lincoln Was Polled, But I'm Beating Him | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
In a rally that resonated with his supporters, Donald Trump claimed that he enjoys higher poll numbers than Abraham Lincoln, despite uncertainty about whether Lincoln was ever polled. This assertion, broadcasted on MSNBC's The 11th Hour, highlights Trump's constant engagement with polling statistics, which he often uses to bolster his image among his followers.
During the rally, as captured in the segment, Trump boasted of receiving near-unprecedented approval ratings from within the Republican Party, stating, "They have 92% and they have 93%. The highest poll numbers ever." He quipped, "Did they do polling when Honest Abe Lincoln was around?" suggesting that he assumed they might have existed, thus positioning himself as a more favorable figure than Lincoln in contemporary times.
Trump's rhetoric is not only aimed at his supporters but also serves as a rebuttal to ongoing critiques from the media and the Department of Justice (DOJ). While he remained upbeat about his popularity, the speaker noted underlying issues within the White House—namely the growing chaos amidst staff changes and questioning his administration's preparedness for potential political challenges ahead.
Interestingly, the segment also delved into the dynamics of Trump’s administration, illustrating concerns from his allies regarding the state's stability. With significant departures from key positions and speculation regarding an impending brain drain, questions have arisen about the White House's ability to navigate future challenges, particularly with worries about potential investigations as Democrats gear up for the possibility of gaining control of the House.
Overall, this rally illustrates not just a moment of self-congratulation from Trump but also reflects the intertwined nature of politics, media scrutiny, and the ever-present power of public perception in his administration.
