Summary

Trump’s advisers are reportedly misleading him about support for his tariff policies, claiming working-class voters back them.

However, polling shows most non-college-educated Americans—especially nonwhite voters—believe tariffs hurt the economy and increase inflation.

A Marquette Law poll found only non-college white men narrowly support tariffs. A CNN poll showed 59% of non-college voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of tariffs.

Critics argue Trump’s team is feeding him a distorted view, ignoring backlash and economic risks, which could give Democrats an opening to reclaim working-class support amid rising costs.

        I know we’re talking about Fox anchors, but holy christ can you imagine going on live TV and knowing that ticker was below your face? Like… what…?

          Speaking of fox anchors… I used to work for a company that provided an ice cream machine for Dairy Queen and Carvel to do segments on a morning Fox show in Manhattan for the start of the ice cream season and I really had to fight the urge to add a laxative to the mix…

          I kick myself frequently for not doing it, but I could imagine those asshats charging me with biological terrorism or something absurd and I kinda felt bad about “collateral damage” as other crew would come eat after the segment was over lol
