A grim new CBS News/YouGov poll showing President Donald Trump bleeding support over his handling of the economy set off a wave of reaction online on Sunday — with pollsters and pundits alike pointing to what one Washington correspondent called "rancid numbers" for Republicans heading into the midterms.

The survey found two-thirds of Americans say Trump's policies are making the economy worse, with most describing themselves as "frustrated" or "angry" about his economic approach. Trump's overall approval has slipped to the lowest point of his second term, and even Republicans are souring on his handling of inflation, where his GOP approval has cratered to 63% — well below his 89% mark on immigration.

A stunningly brazen admission from President Donald Trump last week that sent shockwaves across the nation may very well end up being the catalyst that sinks the Republican Party in the impending midterm elections come November, one GOP strategist warned on Sunday.

That admission, which Trump made in the span of five seconds when speaking with reporters on the White House lawn last Tuesday, was that he didn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation” as it relates to his ongoing and deeply unpopular war against Iran. When asked for clarification on his remarks on Friday, Trump doubled down on his statement, calling it “perfect,” and noting that he’d “make it again.”

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins took to social media Saturday to celebrate a series of new “commitments” from China – namely, the export of American beef, an announcement that came amid U.S. beef prices reaching their highest level in recorded history, sparking a considerable backlash from MAGA-aligned figures.

“Proud to confirm that our deal-maker-in-chief [President Donald Trump] has done it AGAIN!” Rollins said in a statement. “American beef – the best beef in the world! – will be back on the shelves in China soon. They are implementing beef commitments, including resuming imports from 17 states.”

A devastating new CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday shows President Donald Trump paying a steep political price as Americans grow increasingly stressed, frustrated and angry over his handling of the economy — with his overall approval rating sinking to the lowest level of his second term.

Two-thirds of Americans now say Trump's policies are making the economy worse in the short term, and most describe their feelings about the administration's economic approach as either "frustrated" or "angry," according to the survey of 2,064 adults conducted May 13–15.

President Donald Trump is expected to be joined by several of his top officials and allies Sunday in Washington, D.C. for Rededicate 250, a national prayer event hosted on the National Mall, and one Christian group is working to erect a “15-foot-tall” surprise for the president in protest.

Organized by Freedom250, a Trump-aligned group that has received millions of taxpayer dollars, the event has been decried by some critics as promoting Christian nationalism. The government watchdog group Public Citizen, for instance, condemned the event as being “less like a traditional religious event and more like a program for the Church of Trump.”

President Donald Trump has poured considerable political capital into ousting Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who infamously bucked the president by leading the charge to force the release of the administration's files on Jeffrey Epstein – a move one Trump voter recently condemned as a "slap in the face.”

“We love our congressman, and the fact that the president is trying to pick our next congressman for us is kind of a slap in the face to Kentuckians,” said John Detherage, a 62-year old Kentucky resident who voted for Trump, speaking with The Wall Street Journal in its report Sunday.

MS NOW's Jonathan Capehart on Sunday painted a vivid picture of one anxious Republican senator sweating out President Donald Trump's primary endorsement decision — and warned the GOP that Trump's habit of meddling in primaries could backfire in swingier states.

Discussing Saturday's stunning Louisiana primary defeat of Sen. Bill Cassidy, one of the seven Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, Capehart turned his attention to Texas, where Sen. John Cornyn is locked in a primary fight with controversial Attorney General Ken Paxton.

With the Trump administration having failed to achieve its stated objectives in its war against Iran, President Donald Trump has increasingly set his sights on a new objective: one he appears ready to authorize a “dangerous mission” to achieve at any moment, but also one that several high-ranking Trump officials think is a “resoundingly terrible idea,” Zeteo reported Saturday.

Trump explicitly called for regime change just moments after first authorizing strikes on Iran in late February, and while the president has claimed to have accomplished that goal, experts have largely dismissed the president’s assertion. Now, Trump appears ready to greenlight an operation to achieve another goal: seizing Iran’s supply of enriched uranium.

President Donald Trump is hoping to have his latest Washington, D.C. renovation project complete in time for the United States’ 250th anniversary on July 4, but in doing so, may be putting workers’ safety at “risk,” one union leader warned Sunday.

The Trump administration is racing to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and selected a Virginia-based company that previously worked on a swimming pool at one of Trump’s golf clubs in a controversial no-bid contract that bypassed the normal competitive bidding process.
