Trump Devotes 70% Brainpower to Statues, War, and Tariff Tantrums

KEY POINTS

•President Trump focuses 70% of his attention on monuments, renovations, and tariffs, neglecting key voter concerns according to Maggie Haberman.
•Recent polls show Trump's approval at historic lows, with only 32% support and 68% saying he neglects real American issues.
•Top Republicans report Trump's refusal to spend his $400 million super PAC funds demoralizes donors ahead of the 2026 midterms.

President Trump’s 2026 burger-flipping of priorities involves obsessing over renovations, monuments, and tariffs, while approval hits a rock-bottom 32% in Quinnipiac’s latest roast session. Despite losing the GOP’s economy mojo after nine party-years of swagger, Trump is laser-focused (literally, thanks to that airport model at Dulles) on a $400 million MAGA Inc. war chest he refuses to spend — causing donor mood swings worthy of a rollercoaster. Meanwhile, he’s blowing up fireworks over the SAVE America Act’s impossible Senate path, harassing Senate leader John Thune and alienating even Republican voters who only grudgingly back his immigrant bashing. Top GOPers privately admit the 80-year-old comeback kid might just stubbornly thanks-who-needs-economy his way into political extinction.
