Donald J. Trump, the former President of the United States, has recently taken to Truth Social to express his views on the current state of national media and offer a commendation for a musical artist. His comments, posted on April 28, 2025, covered his skepticism of certain polls, criticism of the press, and admiration for a performer.
In a post dated April 28, 2025, Trump referred to pollster John McLaughlin, describing him as "one of the most highly respected in the industry." According to Trump, McLaughlin has stated that polls conducted by The New York Times and ABC/Washington Post, regarding himself, are "FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS." The post seemingly questions the authenticity and reliability of polling by these major news organizations.
Following up, Trump expressed his view on the same day that the U.S. no longer has a "Free and Fair 'Press'." Instead, he accused the press of dishonest practices, writing "BAD STORIES" and "CHEATS, BIG, ON POLLS," and labeled it as "COMPROMISED AND CORRUPT."
In a lighter sentiment, Trump highlighted his support for artist Warren Zeiders in another post on April 28, 2025. He praised Zeiders as "FANTASTIC" and encouraged his followers to "Go to his concerts, and ENJOY!"
These expressions reflect Trump's ongoing critical stance toward media outlets he perceives as oppositional, while also providing insight into his personal endorsements.
Additional information: Donald Trump served as the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Truth Social is a social media platform launched by Trump Media & Technology Group.
