President Donald Trump's trade war is already impacting the American economy, and one Democratic strategist expects part of his 2024 coalition of voters to falter.

A Democratic and Republican strategist agreed on MSNBC that the Trump tariffs add costs to American livelihoods.

CNN's Pamela Brown was unnerved by an analysis by Financial Times editor Ed Luce, who said the economy could take years to stabilize following president Donald Trump's tariffs.

Luce, the publication's U.S. national editor and columnist, said the double-digit tariffs on imports from dozens of trading partners would send prices soaring and shake the stock market, which would hit Americans who are planning to retire soon especially hard.

President Donald Trump announced plans to enact "major" tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals, which sent global drugmakers' stocks plummeting and threatened to send drug prices soaring worldwide.

Most countries have imposed few or no tariffs on medicines as part of a 1995 World Trade Organization agreement, but Trump intends to end that exemption as part of his sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs against dozens of U.S. trading partners, and Yahoo senior finance columnist Rick Newman told "CNN News Central" the results would be disastrous.

Peter Navarro was considered something of a nuisance during Donald Trump's first presidency, according to former White House aide Alyssa Farah Griffin, so she's a bit surprised to see him playing a key role in tariff decisions.

Trump's billionaire adviser Elon Musk and Navarro have been publicly trading insults as their tariff feud spills into view, but Griffin told "CNN News Central" she doesn't expect the president to cut either one of them loose as his newly enacted policy shakes up global markets.

Conservative Rasmussen head pollster Mark Mitchell admitted that President Donald Trump has experienced a "significant" drop in approval after the stock market fell dramatically because of his tariff policies.

During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, Mitchell reflected on his organization's latest polling on the president.

Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton on Tuesday warned President Donald Trump that a protracted trade war with China would only hurt his own voters and that there was only so much they could take.

Appearing on CNN, Singleton said that while Trump voters understood the need to make trade more fair, the president needed to be more considered in his approach, which so far has consisted of launching an economic war against nearly every nation on Earth.

CNN's Kate Bolduan was gobsmacked by China's escalation of president Donald Trump's trade war.

China announced retaliatory tariffs of 84 percent on U.S. imports Wednesday matching Trump's additional duties of 50 percent, bringing his so-called reciprocal tariffs to 104 percent on Chinese imports, and the tit-for-tat escalation of the president's trade policy has rattled global markets.

CNN's Elie Honig placed the detention and interrogation of a Detroit-area civil rights attorney into a broader pattern by president Donald Trump attacks against the legal establishment.

Michigan lawyer Amir Makled believes he was singled out by border agents due to his representation of a pro-Palestinian protester, and Honig believes that's right in line with the executive orders Trump has issued targeting some of the country's most prominent law firms, some of which have agreed to do free legal work to avoid his sanctions.

President Donald Trump's so-called reciprocal tariffs against nearly 100 countries snapped into place Tuesday, and a former Republican congressman trashed his plans as simply "bad."

The tuxedo-wearing president boasted Tuesday night at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual fundraising dinner that world leaders were "kissing my a--" to get around his punishing tariffs, including a massive 104-percent duty against Chinese imports, and former GOP lawmaker Charlie Dent told CNN that Trump's trade war made no sense.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow tore into President Donald Trump's Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, over a recent report that he is ordering federal employees to essentially cater to his every whim, including doing things that are not in the interest of taxpayers.

One particular story that got her cracking up was Burgum's apparent demand to be served warm, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.

While President Donald Trump’s tariffs continue to roil China, Vice President JD Vance created an uproar of his own after making comments about “Chinese peasants” that quickly spread throughout the foreign country – and incited the fury of Beijing officials.

That’s according to CNN, which reported Tuesday that Vance’s comments in a Fox News interview last Thursday have since shot to the top of one of China’s leading social media platforms Weibo.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) launched a verbal tirade against one of her constituents who called into a telephone town hall and clearly struck a nerve with the MAGA lawmaker.

“You’re probably one of those people – one of those fake town hallers who want a fake town hall – because you’ve never shown up to one. So you can just sit right back down. I’m not going to have any of it,” Mace said.

The Supreme Court permitted President Donald Trump this week to resume mass migrant deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a ruling that had many of Trump's legal critics fuming and Trump's team proclaiming victory — but it wasn't quite that cut and dry, former federal prosecutor Elie Honig explained during a CNN panel on Tuesday.

"This is a victory for the Trump administration, one of the more significant ones they have netted before the high court," said legal reporter Paula Reid. "But it's a partial victory because they will be expected to follow process, small-p."
