When President Trump directly quoted Ilhan Omar’s horrible statement about 9/11 liberals screamed that it was a racist incitement of violence that put the Minnesota rep’s life in danger. Luckily Omar is quadruply-protected by the liberal double-standard (black, Muslim, female, democrat) or people might say she’s inciting violence against the president by sending her condolences, implying that Trump has died.
Here’s a tweet that if President Trump sent would dominate the news cycle for 2 solid weeks:
Sending our condolences to the President! 🤣 https://t.co/ZMHGbkqJwa

See, Omar is implying that President Trump has died and is even mocking his death. She’s as classy as she is attractive and intelligent.
There’s actually some hidden comedy here because what she’s tweeting about is complete bullshit. She subtweeted an article from Newsweek that claims a new poll shows that Omar and her “Squad” of idiots have a higher approval rating than President Trump. She obviously didn’t actually look at the poll because it doesn’t show that at all.
Newsweek also didn’t bother looking at The Economist/YouGov poll either because it doesn’t support their headline: DONALD TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING IS LOWER THAN ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE SQUAD
Or what they wrote:
U.S. President Donald Trump has a lower approval rating than all four of The Squad, a group of progressive, Democratic congresswomen of color he told to “go back” to their ancestral homelands in a tweet, according to a new The Economist/YouGov poll.
Trump’s net approval rating, excluding don’t knows, was -11. By comparison, The Squad—which includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley—who also all had negative approval ratings, were significantly better.
New York’s Ocasio-Cortez’s was -3, Minnesota’s Omar was -6, Michigan’s Tlaib was -3, and Massachusetts’ Pressley was -3. The four women had larger “don’t know” answers than Trump, who has far greater name recognition among the wider American public.
The problem with this is that the poll doesn’t include an approval rating question regarding President Trump. They ask respondents about the Squad, but not about Trump. How can Newsweek claim this poll shows Trump’s approval rating is lower that Omar and the Squad, when it doesn’t? The correct answer is because they are Newsweek and just make shit up.
There’s even less reason for Omar to be gloating over this because the Squad’s approval ratings are pathetic:
30% like Omar, 36% hate her, and 35% have no idea who she is. If you just did some math and figured that those numbers add up to 101%, that’s yet another weird problem with this poll.
Likewise 29% like Rashida Tlaib, 32% hate her, and 40% don’t know her.
35% like AOC, 38% hate her, and 16% want to know what’s on Netflix.
Only 23% like Ayanna Pressley, 26% hate her, and a whopping 51% said, “who dat?”
While not asked in this YouGov poll, a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll was released on Friday showing that president Trump has a 45% job approval rating. It’s not exactly the same thing as a favorability rating, but it’s close enough to compare to the Squad.
If you were doing some more basic math in your head, you probably noticed that 45% is higher than 35%, 30%, 29% or 23%. Trump beats AOC, the highest scoring Squad member, by 10 points. Again, how does this mean that Trump is below these insufferable twits? And again the answers is: fake news.
Really this is a fake news-a-polloza: Newsweek publishes a lie based on misrepresenting polls numbers, which Ilhan Omar gloats over while insulting the President is dead and the the liberal media shows its selective outrage double-standard by ignoring her incitement to violence. In a nutshell, that’s what journalism has become on the Age of Trump.
