To a great extent, that's true. But I also believe he is a DEEP black hole of neediness & needs constant.... CONSTANT validation & flattery. And to THAT extent, he wants... NEEDS..good poll numbers. And he wants the grift...and to stay out of jail. Soo many misplaced wants & needs of a Prez.☹️☹️

I agree, he needs to be stroked and babied. But I don't believe he pays much attention to the polls. Some, but not much. That's why during Biden's term, Trump continually held campaign rallies. Those rallies pumped him up. But now I honestly don't think he gives a damn about polls.
