Fox News anchor Sandra Smith highlighted a poll indicating that a significant majority of Americans disapprove of President Trump's performance regarding the economy, taxes, and inflation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that while Trump has ambitious goals focusing on trade, tax, and deregulation, the short-term challenges might cause skepticism among the public. Fox News contributor Robert Wolf pointed out that tariffs are effectively consumer taxes and not beneficial tax cuts, suggesting that mixed signals in the economy could contribute to growing disapproval ratings and fears of a recession among economists.
On taxes, 38% approve, 53% disapprove. This is Fox News polling, 38% on the economy approve, 56% disapprove, 33% on inflation.
President Trump has come out of the block roaring... but will they hang in there, Robert, to see what is promised as long-term gain?
A tariff is a tax on the consumer... it's not a tax cut to the consumer, so that's just not true.
Half the economists think we're going into a recession... this is not actually the immediate, you know, great economy that the president spoke about.
