“Trump’s polling is in the landfill and his economy is not much better. That doesn’t mean either has hit rock bottom.
The souring headlines are impossible to miss, even for those who have treated his second term as something to tune out, avoid, or deny. Trump’s rampage through the professional, permanent class of government workers has cost tens of thousands of jobs and reduced the federal payroll to 1960s levels. At least 120,000 feds have been cut or targeted for reductions, according to CNN’s headcount. Trump’s war on the budget—even though net spending is actually up since he took office—has drastically reduced contracts with outside companies and vendors, often with no clear plan for making up for the services they were providing. The daily chaos is in your face with hourly outrages and a constant stream of outbursts.
The only thing falling quicker than Washington’s patience with the White House is the U.S. economy, which has been rocked by fears of a trade war fueled by escalating and irrational tariffs.”
