Donald Trump took to his social media platform on Saturday to write a lengthy rant that swung from political foes to reporters and news networks. He touted his performance in the 2024 election, celebrating a “landslide” win, before lashing out against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and complaining about “almost 100% negative press and Fake News” from reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, who recently published their behind-the-scenes book on his administration, titled “Regime Change.”
The president’s 453-word post of grievances comes as his approval numbers in national polls remain at record lows, with two polls released in July showing overall approval numbers as low as 35% among American voters. “All I do is WIN, often against all odds but, after the Big Election Success, there’s no, “Gee, he won, he did a great job!” There’s no saying, “Maybe we were wrong about him, the people were right” or, maybe, “Congratulations, we wish you Great Success for our Country!”
He went on to again falsely claim he won the 2020 presidential election before making jabs at several news networks, who remain at the top of his hit-list for their coverage of his second term.
“The Failing New York Times, The LOST ITS WAY Wall Street Journal, MSDNC (They changed their name to MSNOW because nobody was watching!), Ignorant CNN, with some of the Worst No Name Anchors in History, and all three Fake Networks, ABC, CBS, NBC.”
“All of their Readership, Ratings, and Viewership, are “tanking” because the Public understands they are, as I have said right from the beginning, ‘FAKE NEWS!,'” he wrote.

Trump finally took aim at Democrats, who he said are manning a “sinking ship.”
“The Dumocrats don’t have what it takes, their Policies are wrong, and they are, generally, stupid people. They are going COMMUNIST because they are a desperately ‘sinking ship,’ and there’s not a thing they can do about it,” he went on.
“Instead of writing inaccurate, false articles, for over 10 years now, shouldn’t it be time that they say, “We give up, we can’t beat him, there seems nothing we can do.” Isn’t it time they say, “TRUMP IS THE BEST POLITICAL ATHLETE OF ALL TIME!”
Trump has been hemorrhaging support since the start of the new year, as violent immigration enforcement tactics, rising prices and the war in Iran has turned more of the American public’s opinion of the president sour.
A new Economist and YouGov poll taken between July 3 and July 6 among 1,603 U.S. adults shows 35 percent approving of Trump’s job performance and 61 percent disapproving.
Trump’s net approval of −26 matches the lowest point seen across his two terms and Biden’s presidency, according to YouGov.
