Donald Trump's approval rating declines amid economic and policy concerns
Trump's popularity has declined significantly during his second term. Reason attributes the decline primarily to tariffs raising consumer prices, citing economic data showing tariffs passed through to consumers at rates up to 96 percent. The Washington Post criticizes Trump's second-term policies more broadly, including tariff hikes, attempted annexation efforts, immigration crackdowns, and military action, while noting Bezos's recent comments calling Trump more disciplined than in his first term.
