"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."

U.S. Considers Financial Support for Oil-Rich U.A.E.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

So naturally, his priority is to bail out his family's business partners in a foreign country.

He could have been a serious legislator- but instead because joke
