Donald Trump is getting smoked in the polls right now because he has run the most inept campaign in the history of campaigns and also he’s a fundamentally unlikable racist who lies a lot.

So with that being the state of the race on this balmy Wednesday, the 17th of August in the year of our Lord 2016, Michael Cohen, one of Donald Trump’s top advisers, went on CNN to talk about how his boss is great and has very pretty eyes and is totally going to win. Anchor Brianna Keilar asked Cohen about these polls that say the exact opposite. Cohen was not having any of it!

Watch what happens when the unstoppable force of stupidity meets the unmovable object of reality.

Watch Michael Cohen, counsel to Donald Trump, repeatedly ask “says who?!” on CNN when told Trump is losing. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/OlCPxwWugM — Chad Mosher (@ChadMosher) August 17, 2016

“All of them.”

What a time to be alive.

UPDATE UPDATE: Oh my God, the full interview is even more insane.
