Evidently, Trump doesn’t believe in Polls. So he created one. 😛 Here is Trump’s “vote as many times as you like with no accountability, 'Cause That’s Just The Kinda President I Am”" mainstream media survey. Enjoy!!!

I took the survey. It’s put together about as well any of the President’s ventures. All the questions are labeled “1”. Several of the questions have double negatives, which will surely confuse the President’s supporters. ---

When you see a double negative, you have to drink. It’s the Trump Way. ---

They apparently reset the survey. The questions are actually numbered sequentially now. But they are still worded poorly. The target audience will not know how to answer them “correctly”. Serious question: what fraction of the current Trump staff has a college degree? Because there’s a severe lack of editing skills. ---

I wonder if they remembered to put an anti-bot protection on it this time. _whistles innocently_ ---

I seriously doubt the wording and bots matter at all. They’ll just wait a couple weeks then announce that the survey said 90% of Americans want the government to regulate the media. ---

> [@Fubaya](#): > > I seriously doubt the wording and bots matter at all. They’ll just wait a couple weeks then announce that the survey said 90% of Americans want the government to regulate the media. I don’t even think it is that. I think it is just intended to harvest email addresses. They had a survey there during the campaign as well but never released the results. ---

They’ll just wait a couple weeks then announce that the survey said 90% of Americans want the government to regulate the media. Actually I wouldn’t, _in the least_, put it past those POSs to do just that - the perfect horseshit ammo they need. Of course, the backlash against whatever the unbelievable result will be should be (_better_ be) tsunami-like. ---

I gave them my real email address. If I start getting harassed, I’ll know why. What an utterly asinine survey that was. ---

LOL, that was a hoot. I seriously wonder if they are running the entire administration with lowest bid temp workers. Over half of those questions were so poorly worded that you really had to parse out what they were going for. It’s scary that this is apparently the newly edited version. ---

They just banned the New York Times, BuzzFeed News, CNN, The Los Angeles Times and Politico from a press conference. ---

I’m so ethical I’ve only filled this out once. That may be a failure to exploit this opportunity. Fortunately, I have multiple personalities. ---
