Anderson Cooper Mocked Donald Trump for the Absurdly Skewed Poll His Campaign Sent Supporters, and Now Cooper Has a Poll Question of His Own
CNN

Ridiculist indeed.

After President Donald Trump's supporters were asked to rate his State of the Union address by answering a biased survey, Anderson Cooper featured the questions on 360's "Ridiculist" on Thursday night.

"How would you rate President Trump's State of the Union address?" asked Team Trump in the "Official State of the Union Approval Poll." Participants could choose between "Historic, Great, Good, or Other."


Additional questions included:

  • "Do you believe President Trump delivered a visionary speech of always choosing American Greatness?"
  • "Do you believe Democrats only say they don't want a wall to Harass our great President?"

Oy.

Cooper wanted to know what the "purpose" would be of "gathering this type of information," and asked why the president would "want the results of a skewed survey" in which all the choices mean "you, sir, are awesome."

Anderson Cooper then asked his viewers to also take a different version of the poll.

"How would you rate the president's survey?" Cooper asked. "embarrassing, utterly pointless, a shameless exercise in narcissism, other."

Watch below:

Some people thought it was satire.

Others struggled to accept that it was real.

Hard to tell these days.

Some options were missing.

Good job.

Hillary Clinton's 2016 Speech Predicting How Trump Would Behave As President Just Resurfaced—And Wow

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
