Trump Faces Record-Low Approval Ratings Amid Mounting Criticism—Even From Fox News

President Donald Trump is grappling with historically low approval ratings just 100 days into his term, according to multiple polls, including those from Fox News, Reuters/Ipsos, and Pew. Fox News, typically seen as a Trump-friendly outlet, reported a 44% approval rating, prompting on-air shock and criticism. Other polls show even lower numbers, with only 37% approving of his handling of the economy and just 40% overall approval. Trump has lashed out at Fox News and its pollsters, calling their findings 'fake.' The data also reveals that fewer Americans want Trump to succeed compared to any president in the past two decades.

These polls are honestly a joke and just more proof that the media, even Fox News sometimes, is out to get Trump. I don’t trust any of these numbers—every time he tries to do something good for the country, the media twists it or buries it under fake outrage. Remember how wrong all these pollsters were in 2016? They want us to believe Trump's unpopular, but I see more people than ever who are fed up with Biden and the establishment. Trump’s actually fighting for everyday Americans, and that’s why the swamp hates him. The louder they scream about approval ratings, the more I know he’s over the target.

Maybe if Trump actually stuck to shrinking government and protecting individual rights instead of acting like a reality TV star, his approval ratings wouldn’t be tanking—even Fox News can’t spin that.

Honestly, it's no surprise Trump’s approval is tanking—even Fox News can’t spin the numbers in his favor anymore. People are seeing that his policies just aren’t working for ordinary folks, especially when it comes to healthcare and workers' rights. Maybe it’s time the US looked to countries with strong social safety nets and fairer economic systems instead of doubling down on failed trickle-down ideas.

No surprise here—when you put billionaires and big corporations first while ignoring workers and everyday people, your approval is going to tank fast. Even Fox News can’t cover for him when his policies are this out of touch with what most Americans actually need.

Even Fox News can’t spin these numbers—Trump’s approval tanking this fast just proves how out of touch his policies are with most Americans. Maybe now people will realize we need real progressive leadership, not more empty promises and divisive rhetoric.

Israel Sinks Syria's Navy

Israel said Tuesday that it had destroyed Syria’s navy in overnight airstrikes, as it continued to pound targets in Syria despite warnings that its operations there could ignite new conflict and jeopardize the transition of power to an interim government.Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said that the Israeli military had “destroyed Syria’s navy overnight, and with great success.” His remarks appeared to confirm Israel’s responsibility for the destruction documented in the Syrian port city of Latakia, where photos showed the smoldering remains of ships sunk at their dock.Mr. Katz said that Israel’s military “has been operating in Syria in recent days to hit and destroy strategic capabilities that pose a threat to Israel,” although he did not indicate what new or immediate risk Syria’s navy presented to Israel, which has the most powerful military in the Middle East.Israeli warplanes have conducted hundreds of strikes in Syria since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, according to war monitors. Israel has characterized its operations as defensive, saying its military was striking suspected chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria to prevent them from falling “into the hands of extremists.”“From here, I warn the rebel leaders in Syria: Those who follow Assad’s path will end like Assad,” Mr. Katz said.As the Assad government fell to the rebels over the weekend, Israeli ground forces advanced beyond the demilitarized zone on the Israel-Syria border, marking their first overt entry into Syrian territory in more than 50 years. An Israeli military spokesman on Tuesday denied reports that the military was advancing on Damascus. The spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said the military was inside a buffer zone between Israel and Syria and at other points “in order to protect the Israeli border.”Earlier Tuesday, Geir Pedersen, the United Nations special envoy for Syria, called on Israel to halt its “very troubling” military operations there, and said de-escalation was needed. “We are continuing to see Israeli movements and bombardments into Syrian territory. This needs to stop,” Mr. Pedersen told reporters in Geneva.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
