As last week got underway, Donald Trump described an alternate reality he clearly preferred to the one we live in. In a post published to his social media platform, the Republican president described a political landscape in which he’s “getting the best Polling Numbers” of his career, thanks to public satisfaction with the economy and “rapidly falling Energy prices.”

The claims appeared delusional, especially given public dissatisfaction with the state of the economy and recent increases in energy costs, but in the days that followed, Trump did what he always does: repeat nonsensical claims in the hope that public perception can be bullied into submission.

“I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had,” he told reporters last week. “I have the best numbers for any president in many years — any president,” he added two days later.
