Big Facts
Surprise! A recent poll has found Trump’s approval rating dropped since the spring (from 42 percent to 36 percent), while his disapproval rating has risen five points (to 58 percent). “Overall, 48 percent say they ‘disapprove strongly’ of Trump’s performance in office, a level never reached by former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and reached only in the second term of George W. Bush in Post-ABC polling,” reports The Washington Post. Trump—surprise again!— has of course brushed off the numbers, calling the poll “the most inaccurate poll around election time.”
Big Lies
If you want a good chuckle and you’re not already in on the laugh, then you should hop on Twitter to check out Ann Coulter’s Delta blowup from Saturday, during which everyone’s favorite conservative “pundit” (lol) referred to the airline as the “worst airline in America.” Basically what had happened was: Coulter supposedly pre-booked a seat with extra legroom 24 hours before her flight, only to board and be asked to move so another woman could be given her seat. Delta later explained they “inadvertently” moved Coulter to another window seat in the same row “when working to accommodate several passengers with seating requests, according to CNN, but Coulter did not take well to this. “So glad I took time investigate the aircraft & PRE-BOOK a specific seat on @Delta, so some woman could waltz at the last min & take my seat,” she later tweeted. She then posted a photo of the young, unsuspecting woman, prompting many folks to berate Coulter for putting her on blast.
Delta eventually clapped back with a response on Sunday night.
Basically: Here’s your damn money, and btw—you’re rude AF.
