Trump pointed to respected pollster John McLaughlin, who argued that the polls underrepresented Trump 2024 voters, making the findings unreliable. Trump seized on this claim, calling the polls “FAKE” and accusing outlets like The New York Times and Washington Post of deliberately skewing results to harm him.

He didn’t stop there; Trump declared these media organizations should be investigated for “election fraud,” labeling their actions criminal and accusing them of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” He reiterated that despite what he describes as relentless negativity from the media, he remains committed to his mission to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.” Meanwhile, both The New York Times and ABC News defended the integrity of their polling methods, emphasizing the careful balancing of voter demographics to accurately reflect the nation’s political landscape.
