‘no one takes his polls more personally and more seriously than does Donald Trump himself.’
Untrue. Trump mocks polls and calls them fake. Trump knows better than the rest of us how wrong the polls have been about him. He despises them.
In all due respect, I do not see much point in continuing this discussion. Let the reader decide for himself whether Donald Trump cited polls with every second breath when they favored him.
Let us hope that the premier of China shares your view and not mine.
