Hi there, everyone.

It's 4 o'clock in New York.

Today, reality bites Donald Trump in the you know where.

If the price of eggs propelled Donald Trump to victory in November, then his man-made economic instability, which has rattled markets and ushered in

unease for American consumers may very well be his political undoing.

A wave of new polls show that both Donald Trump's approval ratings and voters' opinions of his

handling of the economy are today in free fall.

The New York Times average of polls shows this, quote,

Trump's approval rating has sunk to about 45%. That's down from 52% one week after he took

office. Voters' views of his handling of the economy are even lower than his overall approval

rating. A Fox News poll out last night puts his approval on the economy at

38%. As far as handling of inflation and tariffs, just 33% of Americans approve of that. And for the

first time since the year 2001, a majority of Americans say their personal finances are getting worse.

So, see, it turns out the more voters see of Donald Trump's man-made chaos, the less they like it.

And there is a lot of chaos.

As the New York Times reports on major economic decisions, Trump blinks and then blinks again.

As we reported on this show yesterday, Donald Trump threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, then changed his mind and backed off that threat. After slapping so-called reciprocal tariffs on every country and every island in the world, even those inhabited only by penguins, he reversed himself on that and announced a pause on those two.

As for China, which is subject to a 145% tariff, Trump says, well, now they're negotiating.

Watch.

We are going to have a fair deal with China. It's going to be fair.

Are you talking to them actively now?

Actively. Everything's active.
