Bad Blood? More Like Bad Economy!
Okay Swifties let's talk about something scarier than a blank space on my tour schedule: President Trump's economic approval ratings. Apparently according to these new polls people are feeling less 'Fearless' about his handling of the U.S. economy. I mean even I know you can't just shake it off when the economy is doing a 'Teardrops on My Guitar' impression right?
From 'Love Story' to 'Sad Beautiful Tragic'
The Reuters/Ipsos survey says only 37% of Americans approve of his economic moves. That's lower than my tolerance for paparazzi outside my apartment! And Pew Research Center found that less than half of adults trust him to make 'good decisions' about the economy. That's a 14 point drop since November! It's like going from 'Love Story' to 'Sad Beautiful Tragic' in the blink of an eye. Seriously what happened?
The Era of Economic 'Trouble'
Remember how Trump won the election promising to lower inflation and fix the economy? Well instead it's been a lot of tariffs and uncertainty. It's like he promised us a 'Blank Space' to write our economic dreams but instead he's filled it with... well let's just say it's not 'Style'. All these start stop tariffs have the stock market doing the 'Out of the Woods' dance which isn't exactly a smooth move.
'All Too Well' Tariff Troubles
59% of Americans are not loving these tariffs and honestly who can blame them? It's like re recording 'All Too Well' but making it worse. Some Republicans are still on board but Democrats are pretty much giving him the side eye which let's be honest is a universal language for 'I'm not impressed.'
The 'Shake It Off' Strategy... Or Not?
And it's not just the economy. His overall approval ratings are slipping faster than my grip on a Grammy! The Reuters/Ipsos poll says only 42% approve of his job performance. That's down from the inauguration buzz. Looks like he can't just 'Shake It Off' this time huh?
Time to Rewrite the 'Story of Us'?
So what does this all mean? Well it seems like President Trump needs to find his own 'Style' when it comes to the economy and maybe listen to a few more economists instead of... well I'll leave that blank space for you to fill in. Because right now the 'Story of Us' is looking less like a chart topping hit and more like a B side. But hey at least it gives me something to write about right?

Maybe he should take a page from Taylor's book on how to make a comeback!

This is what happens when you focus on tariffs instead of real solutions.

Maybe he should try writing a catchy song about the economy!
