President of the United States Donald Trump pointed out that any negative polls are fake news, referring to the CNN/ORC International poll which suggesting that Trump had the lowest approval rating of any new president - staking only at 44 percent. 

Trump, wrote on his twitter that polls carried out by CNN, ABC and NBC - just like in the election, are fake. "Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting," he said on his twitter post. He continued his statement in a second tweet that he call his own shots largely based on accumulation of data and said "everyone knows it".

Another poll carried out by Gallup who has polled for every US president since Dwight D Eisenhower, has put Trump at 42 percent, even lower than the one carried out by CNN. According to Gallup, Trump disapproval ratings also jumped 3 another percent from the previous 50 percent, and claimed that the result was a record low for a president who had been in the office for just two weeks.

Meanwhile, by comparison, Obama had polled around 76 percent during his two weeks after entering the oval office and also set the highest of any recent POTUS. Bill Clinton has 59 percent while George W Bush achieved 58 percent.

During his first days of his presidency, Trump signed a string of executive orders which involved highly controversial issues such as the Dakota pipelines, construction of the wall at the US-Mexico border and also the banning of travelers from 7 majority Muslim countries. His actions received intense negative approvals from most mainstream media, and causing riots in several dominant Democrats majority states such as California, New York and Ohio.
