President Donald Trump is doubling down on his legal battle against The New York Times, declaring that his lawsuit against the publication is getting “stronger and stronger.”
In a fiery social media post, Trump blasted the newspaper for publishing fabricated polling numbers from Wedgewood Polls, and said the latest controversy strengthens his case against the media giant.
The New York Times got caught! They used a Company, Wedgewood Polls, that ADMITTED that the Poll Numbers they published were made up and FAKE. This is what I’ve had to deal with, right from the beginning! Our powerful Lawsuit against them is getting stronger and stronger everyday. Everything about The Failing New York Times is “ARTIFICIAL.” Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Wedgewood admitted that it fabricated its polling and claimed they were a “experimental project.”

Wedgewood Polls, facing an imminent publication of an investigation from FiftyPlusOne showing it was fabricating its numbers, declared late Tuesday night that it had been an “experimental project” to show how an “entirely fabricated polling firm” could sway public opinion while painting themselves as the good guys. They’d left an impact and been included by multiple credible polling aggregators including The New York Times — and mentioned twice in POLITICO’s Morning Score polling roundup.
