Trump is at war with statistics — and it’s going about as well as you’d imagine

… “Now the do-nothing Democrat con artists and scammers are getting desperate,” Trump said in Minneapolis. “Thirteen months, they got to move fast because they’re not beating us at the polls and they know it despite the phony, despite the phony polls that you see all the time. They have phony polls, you know, polls are no different. Remember, I always used to talk about polls. I know polls very well. Polls are no different from crooked writers. They’re crooked polls, crooked polls — no different.”

Trump did use to talk about polls a lot — back when they showed him winning the Republican primary by a wide margin. CONT.
