Trump’s own aides keep him in state of delusion about tariff fiasco

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 can't really tell what's real anymore
  
  Oh, it’s real.
  
  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
  
  That’s exactly what they want
  
  I'm fairly sure this is actually real sadly enough
- The tariffs are genderless. Assigning gender affirming adjectives seems to run counter to their rhetoric.
- Imagine being so insecure and so stupid that you honestly believe this.
- I remember a story about Men thinking wheels on luggage made them weak until someone sponsored pilots to have some. Toxic masculinity is truly a blessing of nurgle. It rot and festers.
