If you believe the ranking Donald Trump keeps posting on Truth Social, he is considered the greatest president of all time. The president has also been praising CNN’s Harry Enten for acknowledging that “Donald J. Trump is six times more popular than Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or any other President.”
You shouldn’t actually believe any of those “truths,” as the ranking is just some meme Trump reposted and he totally misrepresented what Enten reported. But it is true that Trump has a 90 percent job-approval rating among self-identified MAGA supporters. And Trump certainly believes he’s incredibly popular, despite what the polls say (that same survey put his overall approval rating at 33 percent).
