Trump SUFFERS Big after Links with Epstein REVEALED | Trump’s Approval ratings fall to a new low

Donald Trump’s approval ratings have hit a second-term low across major polls. Reuters/Ipsos shows just 40% support, while Gallup reports 37%. Even traditionally favorable outlets like Fox News show net disapproval. Swing states such as Florida, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin report negative ratings, with Trump underwater in 13 of 31 states he won in 2024. Key issues include dissatisfaction over his tariff policies and handling of the Epstein case. Voters give him mixed marks on the economy and immigration. #TrumpApproval #2025Polls #DisapprovalSurge #SwingStatesShift #TrumpUnderwater #ElectionWatch #GOPWoes #TariffBacklash #EpsteinControversy #MidtermMomentum #PollTrends #PoliticalTurbulence #TrumpRatings #PublicOpinion #PresidentialApproval #RedStateBlues #TrumpVsVoters #SecondTermStruggles #TrumpControversies #USPolitics #GallupPoll #FoxNewsPoll #ReutersIpsos #SwingStateWatch #BreakingPolls #VoterBacklash Also Read US Prez Trump Announces New US Tariffs - Full List of Affected Nations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-announces-new-us-tariffs-full-list-of-affected-nations-011-7817571.html?ref=DMDesc They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc After Tariffs, Trump Administration Sanctions 6 Indian Companies For Trading With Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/after-tariffs-trump-administration-sanctions-6-indian-companies-for-trading-with-iran-011-7816493.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~

Trump Makes a Joke of Himself| Asks Prez of ENGLISH-SPEAKING Liberia; ā€˜Where’d You Learn English?'

Trump stunned viewers by asking the President of Liberia — an officially English-speaking nation — ā€œWhere did you learn English?ā€ The awkward exchange drew laughter, disbelief, and criticism online, with many calling it culturally ignorant and diplomatically embarrassing. Liberia, founded by freed American slaves in the 1800s, has English as its official language.
