"The president rattled off a series of posts on Truth Social Friday night, including one in which he deployed his favorite insult on CNN even as he boasted of their praise. Even Fake News CNN is praising the DROP in Mortgage Interest Rates! Trump wrote in the late-night message. That post included a segment from Thursday's edition of CNN News Central crediting lower mortgage rates to a Trump policy that some have criticized as a short-term fix."
"But minutes later, he posted two more that advertised a policy he has long made his calling card, to disastrous results. Each post featured a black-and-white portrait of Trump glaring at the camera behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. The first labeled him Mister Tariff. Seconds later, he graduated to Tariff King. But polling on Trump's import taxes has been consistently deadly, and in the most recent Economist/YouGov poll it was dead last in a list of Trump policies."
Donald Trump posted multiple messages on Truth Social featuring black-and-white portraits of himself in the Oval Office and self-applied titles like Mister Tariff and Tariff King while promoting tariffs. One post quoted CNN praising a drop in mortgage interest rates and credited a Trump policy for lower mortgage rates. Polling shows tariffs are among the least popular Trump policies; an Economist/YouGov poll ranked tariffs dead last. Tariffs share a 37 percent favorability with Venezuela policy, while Venezuela's unfavorable rating is 50 percent, lower than tariffs' unfavorable rating. Public approval on immigration remains higher than for tariffs despite controversy over ICE operations.
