The Daily Blast: Trump Hits Record-Breaking Low in Polls as Aides Leak: He’s “Furious”
Donald Trump’s polling just crashed to new lows. He’s hit a net approval on inflation of negative 50 points in numerous surveys, something no other president has done—ever. Trump also is at 80 percent disapproval on gas prices. And this is the first time Democrats have led Republicans on inflation since the 1970s. It’s no accident that this comes as sources around Trump tell CNN that he’s “furious
Words Matter: Meeting Trump’s Twisted Deviancy Halfway Is NOT The Answer for Dems

The Daily Blast: Trump Iran Tirades Get So Unhinged that His Own Aide Visibly Cringes
Donald Trump is all over the place on Iran. After insisting a deal was imminent, he’s now threatening more full-scale bombing. He just claimed that “I love the inflation” caused by the war. And in several rants, he insisted that the United States has secretly smuggled 100 million barrels of oil out of Iran and on to the world market (the whole thing appears mostly invented).

The Daily Blast: Fox in Meltdown over Booing of Trump as Polls Take Truly Brutal Turn
Donald Trump faced merciless booing at the Knicks game Monday night, and Fox News figures quickly recognized how perilous this is. As Media Matters details, Fox personalties and on-air chyrons spun madly in response. They absurdly portrayed the reception as much more muddled, as inspired by something other than Trump, and even as meaningfully peppered with cheers for him. This comes as his polls j

The Daily Blast: Trump Rages over Iran Setbacks as Leaks Reveal His Seething Obama Envy
