Trump’s Approval Climbs Despite Latest Media Frenzy

The pundits thought they had him cornered. Again. The media elites, clinging to their fading influence, believed they could whip up another scandal — this time using the Epstein case — to drive a wedge between President Trump and his rock-solid Republican base. But once again, they underestimated the American people.

New polling data from CNN and Quinnipiac — hardly conservative outfits — shows that Trump’s approval among Republicans hasn’t dipped. It’s climbed. That’s right. Despite a media frenzy and relentless noise on social media, Republican support for Trump has ticked up, not down. CNN’s own data shows Trump’s GOP approval rising from 86% to 88%. Quinnipiac puts it even higher — from 87% to 90%.

CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten, clearly stunned, admitted the facts. “You might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans — if anything, they’re going up,” Enten said. He pointed out that Trump is “at the apex, or close thereto,” regarding his popularity within the Republican Party.

Let’s pause on that. Even CNN now concedes that President Trump’s support is not just stable — it’s growing. And it’s growing in the face of a coordinated smear campaign designed to resurrect the Epstein narrative and falsely implicate Trump by association. The left and their media allies are desperate. They see the 2024 election results. They see Trump back in the White House, dismantling their globalist agenda brick by brick. And they know their usual bag of tricks — the fake dossiers, the impeachment hoaxes, the January 6th hysteria — isn’t working anymore.

So they’re reaching for the Epstein files, dusting off old headlines, and trying to spin them into something they’re not. But here’s the problem: Republican voters aren’t buying it. According to CNN’s own polling, only one — yes, one — Republican voter named the Epstein case as the country’s most important issue. Not one percent. One person.

Enten pointed that out too. “On X, all you hear about is the Epstein files,” he said. “But how about out in the real public?” The answer is clear: in the real world, Americans care about the economy, the border, national security, and restoring sanity to our institutions — not media-manufactured distractions.

President Trump responded to the Epstein noise directly on Truth Social, calling it what it is: another media hoax. “The Jeffrey Epstein Hoax is the Left’s latest media scam to distract from my success,” he declared. He’s absolutely right. The left can’t stand the fact that under Trump’s leadership, the economy is roaring back, the border is being secured, and America is reasserting itself on the world stage. So they fall back on the one playbook they know: smear, distract, and distort.

Trump also made it clear he’s not interested in the fair-weather allies who fall for the bait. “I don’t want their support anymore,” he said. That’s the kind of leadership that resonates with real Americans — not pandering to the mob, but standing firm on principle.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer. While the media chases shadows and Twitter mobs scream into the void, President Trump is focused on delivering results. And the Republican base sees that — clearly. They’re not swayed by hashtags or headlines. They’re watching the real-world impact of conservative policies and strong leadership.

So let the left keep chasing ghosts. Meanwhile, Trump’s approval keeps rising. The American people are wide awake, and they’re not falling for the same old tricks. The elites may not like it. But they’d better get used to it. Because Trump isn’t just surviving their attacks — he’s thriving in spite of them. And come 2028, that momentum could carry him — and the conservative movement — even further.
