Trump spokesperson and former Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce became quite disturbed when Fox Business host Stuart Varney interrupted her fictitious picture of the US economy under Trump's leadership and asked her to explain Trump's horrific poll numbers.

BRUCE: People who watch your show know that the economy is doing well, that savings is growing.

Great interview with Steve just a little bit ago.

The nature of the stock market, the choices of the modern world that we have to face like AI, the nature of what we did with the Internet, and the fact that that created giant American businesses which have made the world better.

VARNEY: So why is he so low in the polls? Why is his approval rating in the low 30s?

How dare Varney break the MAGA hypnotic enchantment on his audience Bruce was spinning.

Instead of responding to his question, she spun a tale of when Trump first ran and said, "When did we start believing?"

BRUCE: The nature of what media does to try to shift the American public's view of this man.
It has not worked because we see what he delivers. What he's concerned about is not the polls.

He wants to make sure the American people are informed, they know what he's doing, and of course we trust him to be doing the right thing.

It's why he's president, and we know that he makes choices based on what he understands is best for this country.

Trump is not running for office and these poll numbers are not outliers. It's almost the same results repeated over and over by every credible pollster.

When Trump ran in 2024, he promised never to start a new war, especially in the Middle East. He proclaimed he'd lower costs of all goods and services immediately. He would do away with inflation. Lower low fuel costs, and have 2% mortgage rates, while ending the Russia-Ukraine war on day one.

People are suffering while Trump tries to stamp his name on every structure in D.C. even as he not only fails at his promises, but makes things worse!

Bruce will feel the anger come November.

TAMMY BRUCE: The economy is doing well. Savings are growing. The nature of the stock market.

VARNEY: So why is he lows in the polls? Why is his approval rating in the low 30s?

BRUCE: When did we start believing the polls? My goodness
