Trump's Silent Majority is the Ultimate Fake News Story
The idea that the US president-elect has huge popular support is a
media-fuelled myth

Judging by panicked reactions, the media and millions of Americans believe
that Donald Trump has done the impossible and fooled all the people all
the time.
.
An all-points bulletin has gone out in the media to cover this new silent
majority that east and west coast denizens never saw coming.
Yet the majority does not exist.
.
Yes, Trump puts up an amazing Potemkin front. His control of the media,
his cleverly crafted tweets which set the news agenda every day, and the
wringing of hands by top Democrats seemingly unable to blunt his appeal
all point to some form of political colossus impossible to stop.
.
Except it is the ultimate fake news.
.
The evidence is plain. He won with 46 per cent of the vote, the smallest
electoral total in history for a winning American presidential candidate.
Millions more people voted for Hillary Clinton. He was aided by Wikileaks,
the Russians and execrable FBI chief James Comey who placed his finger
plainly on the scales.
.
Like most everything else, Trump is faking his popularity. The most
telling aspect of all is his approval ratings as he comes to Washington
this week and is sworn in as president on Friday.
.
Goodwill bounce
.
A new Quinnipiac University poll rated his approval at just 37 per cent,
down nine points already from his winning total and likely headed lower if
the trend continues.
.
By contrast, George W Bush at 81 per cent and Barack Obama at 80 per cent
enjoyed a massive goodwill bounce when they entered office.
.
As to how he handled the transition, Trump is underwater again. Only 48
per cent approve of how he handled his transition team.
.
Barack Obamas numbers were 83 per cent for how handled that task, while
Bush was 60 per cent.
.
Translation: Trump is in deep trouble already.
