Trump Shockingly Finishes First In New Poll — And It's Not About The Election
HuffPost
The former president seems to be the go-to guy on a certain matter.
Most Republicans trust Donald Trump more than the Pentagon or the news media for information about the war in Ukraine, a surprising CBS News poll revealed Sunday.
Nearly 80% of Republicans take the criminally indicted former president at his word on the conflict.
Meanwhile, 60% of Republicans trust the Pentagon, putting the military source a little ahead of Fox News and other conservative media, which came in at 56%. A mere 33% trusted journalists reporting from the war zone, while 27% put faith in the State Department.
The results indicate that Trump is winning the battle of public perception within his own party — at least in regard to Ukraine.
The presumptive GOP presidential candidate has repeatedly boasted that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine wouldn’t have happened if he were in office and that he could end the war within 24 hours if reelected.
