In a fiery broadside against the seemingly hopelessly entrenched regime media establishment, President Donald Trump slammed the corporate press, accusing it of deliberately distorting public opinion polls to sabotage his administration and mislead voters.
On the eve of his 100th day of his second term, an important milestone in any president’s tenure, Trump, in his usual fashion, didn’t hold back in the slightest, blasting what he called a “compromised and corrupt” press that’s become little more than a propaganda arm for globalist interests.
“We don’t have a Free and Fair ‘Press’ in this Country anymore. We have a Press that writes BAD STORIES, and CHEATS, BIG, ON POLLS. IT IS COMPROMISED AND CORRUPT. SAD!” Trump declared on Truth Social.
His outrage comes after a barrage of polls from regime outfits like The New York Times, ABC News, Washington Post, and even Fox News tried to paint a grim picture of Trump’s standing.
According to the New York Times/Siena College poll, Trump’s approval rating sits at 42%, while an ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos poll marked him at 39% — the lowest 100-day approval rating for any president since World War II.

Trump, however, isn’t buying the narrative. “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,” he fumed. “These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the Fox News Pollster while you’re at it.”
Backing him up, longtime Trump campaign pollster John McLaughlin slammed the polls as rigged. “When President Trump received 50 percent of the popular vote, but The New York Times includes only 37 percent of his voters in their poll and ABC/Washington Post has only 34 percent Trump supporters, it seems that they deliberately biased their polls against President Trump,” McLaughlin said.
Despite the media’s non-stop negativity, Trump’s base remains rock-solid, particularly on the issues that propelled him to victory: immigration and sovereignty. According to a new CBS poll, 56% of Americans support Trump’s plan to locate and deport illegal immigrants—a staggering figure that demolishes the media’s preferred narrative.
The poll, conducted April 23-25 among 2,365 adults, found that 90% of Republicans and even 54% of independents back Trump’s deportation policy. Even women were split 50-50, while 63% of men support the effort to reclaim America’s borders. Among conservatives, a whopping 89% approve.

Trump’s message was simple but powerful: the media, per usual, is gaslighting the American people, and it’s high time they were held accountable. “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, lose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse,” he thundered.
Making no mistake about the gravity of the situation, Trump summed up the state of the regime media’s apparatchiks: “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… AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!”
