Straitjacket Trump: I'd Win Re-election 'By 25 Points' On This Economy

Donald Trump joined his former henchmen and apparently former enemy Michael Cohen on his radio program and made delusional comments about the state of the economy and credible polling data that were so absurd, I believe a straitjacket is required.

Did anyone there say Trump is obsessed and spending more time on his craving renovation projects instead of the Iran war

TRUMP: I think that we're doing really well in the polls, the real polls.

If I were running today, I think I'd win by 25 points. I think we'd win by a lot.

The economy has never been stronger.

We're doing numbers that nobody's ever seen before.

I'm not going to write about his appearance on Cohen's program, but just those words.

If we had a serious media, they would be pronouncing him completely mad. The madness of Donald Trump

Is Trump playing only to his 33% MAGA base, or is Natalie Harp and the rest of his sycophantic staffers feeding him bogus information to keep his spirits alive?

If Trump were running again, those words would sink him.

Can you help us out?
