Summary
Trump’s advisers are reportedly misleading him about support for his tariff policies, claiming working-class voters back them.
However, polling shows most non-college-educated Americans—especially nonwhite voters—believe tariffs hurt the economy and increase inflation.
A Marquette Law poll found only non-college white men narrowly support tariffs. A CNN poll showed 59% of non-college voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of tariffs.
Critics argue Trump’s team is feeding him a distorted view, ignoring backlash and economic risks, which could give Democrats an opening to reclaim working-class support amid rising costs.
“…give Democrats an opening…” Yeaaaahh, they surely won’t squander this opportunity.
Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake
Remember when Biden aides kept him in a delusional state for 3 years?
Pepperidge farms remembers.
Whaaaaaat? Being surrounded loyalist yesmen does not produce an environment for truthful feedback? I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you!
basically like putin, his “circles” are constantly telling him what he want to hear and not from anyone with actual advice,
You don’t get good and decent people when you are a well known narcissists. At best you get yes men and yes blonde women. At worst you get someone just like you who plays you like a fiddle. This is what he has. A mix of useless sycophants and manipulative opportunist.
In the real world, all the tariff chaos gives Democrats an opening to try to crack his vaunted coalition.
In the real world, The New Republic, the trump voting bloc is a cult. It is not possible to “crack his vaunted coalition”, becuase it is one single unit of fear-based lifelong republiQans and hypnotized rightwing media victims that no amount of logic or reasoning can penetrate.
To repeat: it is a cult, media is a desperate vortex of lies and you’re not really helping like you mean to.
But you’re sweet to offer false hope.
He didn’t hire people who would contradict him.
In 90 days—or, who knows, nine—Trump could flip-flop yet again.
Well exactly. The demented rapist is a fucking menace to reason, much less a functioning government.
Well, yeah…
That’s how the cowardly sycophants keep their respective jobs under Mafia Don Mangolini.
Whadya expect?
🙄 🙄
I truly wonder if his caregivers are telling him this.
