For comparison purposes. Trump is the only president who never got to 50% approval,

Tears of a clown.

In December, Newsmax made headlines when it topped a Fox News show in the key demographic of viewers age 25-54: on Dec. 7, at 7 p.m., Greg Kelly Reports had 229,000 viewers in the demo, beating Fox’s The Story With Martha MacCallum, which had 203,000 viewers in the demo. Martha MacCallum still topped Greg Kelly in total viewership that day, with 1.59 million total viewers to Kelly’s 949,000, but the demo upset was a shock for a network that long touted its position as the top-rated one in cable news.
But in the last week of February, Newsmax had lost 51% of its audience in total day since its viewership peaked the week of November 16, 2020, dropping from an average 398,000 viewers in total day to 197,000, and 63% of its viewers in demo, dropping from 93,000 to 34,000. In prime time, the total viewership drop-off was 55%, from 495,000 to 223,000, and 63% in the demo, from 134,000 to 49,000. During the 7 p.m. hour, the audience for Greg Kelly Reports dropped 48%, from 970,000 to 502,000, and 67% in the demo, from 242,000 to 80,000, according to Nielsen data. Newsmax also dropped in cable rankings from 27th among total viewers in prime time the week of Nov. 16, to 52nd the week of Feb. 22. In total day, Newsmax dropped from 19th to 33rd in the weekly cable rankings.

Well, they were reduced to dunking on Biden's dog, and having to doctor the photo at that.
Anyone who believed that story believed it purely because they wanted to, the filter on the photo was so obvious (probably to hide the rest). But then that describes their audience anyway.

The only thing they had going for them was willingness to tell the dumbest Trumpies what they wanted to hear. Once that wears off, you are left with the fact that they are mostly idiots who weren't good enough to get a job at Fox News.

Newly Surfaced Recording Captures Trump Pressuring GA Election Investigator

President Trump’s desperation to convince Georgia election officials to reverse the state’s election result was made clear in a newly surfaced recording of a call Trump had with a top elections investigators in the state.

Trump’s call to the investigator came several days before his infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. That Trump spoke separately to another official in Raffensperger’s office was previously reported by the Washington Post.

But they're not finished yet.
Jack Wilenchik, one of the lawyers who represented the state Republican party, said he would be appealing the decision.

“An order like this only serves to stop plaintiffs from rightfully invoking the courts to hear their issues, and it encourages public distrust in the government for being openly hostile to them,” he said in a statement to the Arizona Capitol Times. “For a county judge to say that widespread public mistrust in an election is an ‘improper’ reason for a political party to be in his court is sorely disrespectful to the view of the many Americans whom I am proud to represent.”

The defense team further claims that she did honestly believe that what she was saying was true at the time. So, effectively, they've argued that she believe(d)(s) serious allegations that no reasonable person would (have) believe(d). I'm not sure how they phrased the tense but her own defense team has clearly stated that the case should be dismissed because she's deeply delusional.
