‘Should not be allowed’: Trump urges ban on ‘fake ads’ showing his polling at low levels
While President Donald Trump continues his trade-focused mission in the Far East, the commander in chief is irked by what he calls “fake ads” showing his polling levels “at low levels,” and is now urging a ban on such commercials.
Shortly after arriving in Japan on Monday, Trump posted a lengthy message on Truth Social, stating: “After winning THREE Elections, BY A LOT, I am now getting the best Polling Numbers that I have ever received.
“People see how strong the Economy is, the Trillions of Dollars of Investment pouring into our Country, the Record Setting Strong Border (After years of millions of criminals pouring through it, totally unvetted and unchecked!), ending 8 wars in eight months, no men playing in women’s sports, no transgender for everyone, rapidly falling Energy prices, and much more!
“Despite all of this, the Radical Left Losers are taking fake ads, not showing REAL Polls, but rather saying that I’m Polling at low levels.
“These are the people that I’ve been beating for years, and am continuing to do so, but by even bigger margins. These ads should not be allowed to run because they are FAKE!
It was not immediately clear to which specific ads about polling Trump was referring.
Just last week, as WorldNetDaily reported, Trump pulled the plug on trade negotiations with Canada, where the economy relies in significant ways on the United States, over what he called a “FAKE” ad that appears to be trying to influence the U.S. Supreme Court’s looming decision on tariffs.
Further, that Canadian ad may actually misrepresent President Ronald Reagan, whose words it uses.

Trump responded to that spot, saying: “The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HERBY TERMINATED. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.”
The Hill explained, “Trump in August announced a 35 percent tariff on all Canadian goods, though products covered under the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement were exempt. Canada is one of the United States’ top trading partners, and their economies are heavily intertwined when it comes to certain products. But Trump has repeatedly argued the U.S. does not need Canadian goods, and that Canada is far more reliant on America for its economy.”
In fact, the Reagan Foundation confirmed the ad manipulated Reagan’s words, and it announced it was reviewing its legal options”
