Trump predicts bigger victory than 2016 based on 'real polls', Internet reminds him Biden's actually leading

The tweet was criticized by many as actual polls have a different story to narrate as Biden is polling ahead of Trump in key battleground states

With the US presidential elections less than two-and-a-half months away, the enthusiasm among the voters has definitely hit a new high. While people are debating over who would make a better president between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, POTUS took to Twitter only a few minutes ago on September 7 to establish "we will be having an even bigger victory than that of 2016".

What has astonished many more than the declaration itself is Trump’s representation of facts. He says in the tweet: "The Real Polls are starting to look GREAT!" It wasn’t long before Twitter users noticed the strong statement made by the president and used the platform to present with the right facts, based on the latest poll results.

Trump's tweet read, "The Real Polls are starting to look GREAT! We will be having an even bigger victory than that of 2016. The Radical Left Anarchists, Agitators, Looters, and just plain Lunatics, will not be happy, but they will behave!"

The tweet was subjected to criticism by many as actual polls have a different story to narrate. According to Financial Times's latest reports, Biden is "polling ahead" of Trump in "key battleground states". The former Vice President is reportedly holding a 6 point lead against Trump in Wisconsin and is at 4 points lead in Florida. Furthermore, the reports suggest that Biden is on a "narrow" lead in Arizona as well. Biden is said to be holding a narrow lead in North Carolina, where a Republican was voted 9 out of 10 times in the presidential elections. 

Despite vigorous campaigns by Trump's administration, which are in full swing, the opposite and the majority of the public has expressed disapproval in his response to the pandemic and the civil unrest in the US which don't seem to settle. 

On seeing POTUS's latest tweet, some slammed him for misleading the public with information which isn't factually correct, while a few called him out for his "narcissism". One user wrote, "Donnie, dear... Your staff saw how grumpy you were at the presser this afternoon and made up some poll numbers so you wouldn't stomp the s**t out of everyone. That's all." Another added, "Joe Biden is actually extending his lead in the polls as more and more Republicans and independents are coming together to put an end to your terrible administration."

Calling the President a "liar", one user tweeted, "You are delusional Drump. Not a single reputable poll has you ahead, anywhere in swing states. Or national polls. Pluse, your lies about what you said about our fallen soldiers will be born out by the real sources. And then, finally, you will be toast. go back to your ruined biz."

Another added, "There are no polls that say you're winning. There are no polls in which you're gaining. Your joke of a campaign is feeding you imaginary positive poll numbers to trick you into thinking they know what they're doing. You're the biggest fool of all. You're a just plain lunatic!"
