A recent AP-NORC poll reveals President Trump’s net approval rating has plummeted to a new second-term low of -14 points, with 56% disapproving of his performance. This disapproval extends to his handling of the economy (58% disapproval) and trade negotiations (60% disapproval), mirroring other polls showing declining economic approval. Shifting public opinion, including a growing belief that Trump is responsible for current economic conditions, could significantly impact his political standing and legislative agenda. The ongoing economic uncertainty and international tensions may further influence his approval ratings in the coming weeks.

In a private call, the President warned auto CEOs against raising prices following his new tariffs, implicitly threatening retribution. This action is viewed as an abuse of power, further undermining the President’s stated goal of rebuilding the nation’s industrial base.

This contradicts the President’s stated aims and undermines the transition to a green future. The President’s actions expose the absurdity of his economic policies.

This inaccurate portrayal ignores the underlying reality: Trump’s economic policies are driven by corruption and a lack of intellectual capacity.
