Trump feels tug of political gravity as economy falters and polls plunge
Briefly

Despite initial enthusiasm for Donald Trump’s presidency, marked by a flurry of executive actions, public opinion is shifting negatively. Critics and pollsters note his unpopularity is historically high, indicating dissatisfaction among the majority of Americans. The sentiment suggests that Trump may have overextended himself during his first 100 days, leading to a perception of failure and fears of authoritarianism. As the political landscape alters, Republicans are becoming anxious about upcoming midterm elections, signaling that the initial political capital Trump wielded is rapidly diminishing amid economic and national security challenges.
