Likely mirroring unhappiness among American consumers who are already being impacted by Donald Trump’s unnecessary trade war, which has set off battles over tariffs, wealthy Americans who are supposed to make out better under the president’s recently signed megabill are instead giving him low marks.

According to a report from Newsweek, following his return to the Oval Office after four years in the wilderness, Trump sat at + 6 with 49 percent approving of his job performance among those polled earning yearly incomes of more than $100,000.

Donald Trump’s threat to sic his newly renamed “Department of War” on a U.S. city unleashed a torrent of outrage and anger on Saturday, with one longtime critic suggesting it is an impeachable offense.

After being quiet all morning, the president jumped on his Truth Social account to post a meme tied to “Apocalypse Now” with himself as Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Kilgore, played by actor Robert Duvall, known primarily for stating, “Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know, the gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like… victory."

World-renowned economist Paul Krugman sounded the alarm Saturday on President Donald Trump’s social media activity, calling many of the president’s online posts “horrifyingly irresponsible,” with many having led to real-world market dips.

“In the past, stagflation has been the result of external affects; war in the Middle East, things like that,” Krugman said, speaking on MSNBC with host Ali Velshi.

As part of a discussion about rumors of Donald Trump’s decline that flooded social media on Labor Day weekend, lawyer and podcaster Dean Obeidallah suggested there should be very real worries about the president's health after speaking with members of his family.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Ali Velshi, the commentator explained the most recent information about Trump’s health has come from Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), whose medical license has expired and whose judgment has long been questioned.
