Per Article 1 of our U.S. Constitution (which Trump has tried to circumvent), we have Freedom of the Press to prevent propaganda. Yet like his own pollsters that tell him that don't tell him what he wants to hear, he fires them. I almost wish I were a pollster, telling him what he wants to hear, if just to get rid of him - he is an embarrassment to our country, to the world of democracy (just a puppet on Putin's strings).

These are the people you have to thank for this mess.
The big mistake was to set up a republic. Look at some of the most stable democracies in western Europe: The UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway ... all constitutional monarchies. When Belgium was invented after Napoleon was booted out they didn't make it a republic, they got themselves a king. Greece and Spain, when their military dictatorships collapsed, got the royals back. True, Greece ain't doing too good lately, but that's not because they're being oppressed by a wicked ogre in Athens wearing a crown, it's because a crosspatchy old crow with a face like a bag of spanners sitting in Berlin is putting the screws on them. Romania had a very successful king during the Second World War, but when the communist dictatorship came to an end they missed a trick and let him back for decorative purposes but without allowing him any real constitutional role.
However, all is not lost.
It's not too late to call a halt to this 240-year-old failed experiment in republican government, which was inspired by that swivel-eyed loony Tom Paine and the perfidious French. The way forward is to dump Trump and the constitution and establish a monarchy on the European plan. There are plenty of examples of nations which have invited a suitable candidate to be their king (fun fact:: one of Stephen Fry's forebears was offered the crown of Albania but he was too busy) and there is such a thing as an elected monarchy (Scandinavian idea).
Here's my twopenn'orth. The obvious choice would be Prince Harry and Margo Sparkle or whatever her name is, since they're half American to begin with and an heir is already in the bag, so they could hit the ground running as it were. In the interests of fairness and to give the people a say in the matter other candidates should also be considered; for example Sarah, Duchess of York, is well qualified because she has spent a good deal of time (and a shitload of money) in America, she has good shopping skills and she's pally with Oprah.

Kinda like how all the pollsters said he didn't have a hope in hell of winning the election?

He fired the pollster for leaking the results. Yes he was lying about them. Freedom of the press doesn't matter when you can't recognize what the truth is anymore.

You're missing an important distinction. Polls NEVER said he, nor Hillary, would "win" the election. What they were saying was that Hillary Clinton was up by 2 percentage points. She actually won the popular vote by 2.5 percentage points, or 3 million votes. Pretty good statistical polling. People assumed that being ahead in the polls equated "election" without factoring in the idiosyncrasies of the Electoral College. Conservatives really need to get off this flawed message that polling was wrong and MAGA-man surprised everyone.

^True. Comparatively razor thin margins in states Barack Obama won twice in the Midwest were the determining factor. Not a great popular vote tilt towards Trump at all. On the popular vote, the polls predicting a very tight race but slight Hillary lead were essentially correct.

Trump is not dangerous because he hates a free press, or because of Putin, he's dangerous because the Republican Party is willing to go along with his insanity and support it.
