This week has been Donald Trump’s worst nightmare. A flurry of new polls show Trump’s approval ratings utterly cratering ahead of an expensive Thanksgiving for working families, with over three-quarters of Americans viewing the U.S. economy negatively and near-supermajorities of respondents disapproving of Trump’s handling of the economy, inflation, and cost of living crisis. Americans see Trump covering up the Epstein files, wining-and-dining murderous foreign princes, and building ballrooms instead of fighting to lower costs. Just look at the numbers on how much the American people despise Trump’s economic agenda:
