TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON BOOM PROMISE AMID TARIFF BACKLASH AND POLL SLIDE

President Trump fired up America from the White House Tuesday, vowing a history-making 2026 economic surge while torching Biden for the “mess” of soaring prices—dismissing voter fury as Dem tricks, even as his approval craters to 57% disapproval on economy handling per PBS/NPR/Marist, with 52% in YouGov saying things worsened under him.

Beyond $1,776 “warrior dividends” for 1.45M troops (tariff-funded nod to 1776), Trump touted falling gas/groceries, wage gains outrunning inflation, and November’s 64K jobs (healthcare/construction boom masking manufacturing’s 7th straight shed)—yet economists link his global tariffs to cost spikes, echoing Biden’s post-COVID struggles that tanked Dem bids, fueling GOP midterm jitters after NY mayor and VA/NJ gov flops.

MAGA insiders gripe over his Ukraine/Gaza/Venezuela focus sidelining homefront, prompting domestic rally ramps in PA/NC and VP Vance’s “patience” pitch for 2028 eyeing—insiders whisper a team wake-up call as tariffs lure factories but risk 2026 Congress losses if affordability rage boils over.
