'Abandoning Donald': CNN data guru reveals Trump's lost crucial voting bloc

03/27/26 4:49 PM

CNN data expert Harry Enten revealed how working class Americans have turned on President Donald Trump. Enten described during a live broadcast on Friday how polling shows working class voters — classified as people who make $50,000-a-year or less — were a major swing vote bloc that helped elect Trump in 2024. But now, they've been left disappointed. "That was a very important part of his coalition," Enten explained. "But look at this now. Look at the net approval rating that he has with those making under $50K. Down it goes. Look at that. That's a 26 point switcheroo in the latest average of polls. Look at that -24 points. The working class voters are abandoning Donald Trump. Those who helped put him over the top in 2024 are saying, you know what? Not for me right now."The struggling economy has left them dissatisfied with the president. "His net approval rating with them right now is absolutely atrocious when it comes to the economy," Enten added. "They have seen what has happened. They have seen what has happened on tariffs. They have seen what has happened with the war. They have seen the gas prices go up. And you just say to yourself, if you're a voter making under $50K, you know what the economy, it is not where we want it to be. And therefore we are turning against Trump on the economy and we are turning against him overall as well."

'Amazing': Trump claims he received a 'very big' gift from Iran

03/24/26 7:16 PM

President Donald Trump claimed to have received a "very big present" from the leaders of Iran.During a Tuesday press conference at the White House, Trump was asked who his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and special envoy Steve Witkoff were negotiating with to end the war with Iran."We killed all their leadership, and then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them," Trump noted. "And now we have a new group, and we can easily do that, but let's see how they turn out."The president claimed that he had accomplished "regime change" in Iran."This is regime change, right?" he said. "They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present. And the present arrived today. It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money.""And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize," he added. "And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me. We're dealing with the right people."Trump said the "present" was not related to Iran's nuclear capabilities."It was oil and gas related," he explained. "And it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people. Because, you know, you don't know, because the leadership was killed. All gone.""But we're dealing with a group of people that I think turned out. And the present — the gift they made to us was very significant. And they said they were going to do it, and it happened. And they're the only ones that could have done it."

'Disgrace!' White House lashes out at defecting Trump official's 'laughable' claim

03/25/26 6:49 PM

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was irritated on Wednesday after a reporter mentioned Joe Kent — the top Trump intelligence official who resigned after claiming President Donald Trump changed his story on the Iran war.Leavitt was responding to a reporter's question during a White House press briefing and had a sharp reaction to the comments from Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center and close MAGA ally who stepped down last week from his role. Kent has said that Iran "posed no imminent threat to our nation" and that the president acted under "pressure from Israel.""Joe Kent said that the president's red line shifted from 'Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon' to 'Iran cannot pursue nuclear enrichment.' What is the administration's response to that criticism?" the reporter asked. Leavitt had a strong response to Kent's comments. "I think the president and I have both strongly responded to the criticism by Mr. Kent, who unfortunately resigned in disgrace and accused the president of basically being controlled by foreign countries and foreign manipulation, which is a ridiculous and laughable assertion," Leavitt said. "So his accusations have zero credibility as far as this White House is concerned." The reporter pressed further, "the question of the red line shifting from no nuclear weapon to no nuclear enrichment, is there any substance to that argument?"Leavitt pushed back on the question. "I think the president has been quite clear on what he wants to see from the Iranian regime, which is why he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury in the first place," Leavitt said.Q: Joe Kent said the president's red line shifted from 'Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon' to 'Iran cannot pursue nuclear enrichment.' What is the president's response?LEAVITT: Mr Kent resigned in disgrace. He has 0 credibilityQ: But the question of the red line shifting?… pic.twitter.com/3mdhr5pKJB— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 25, 2026

'Don't be an idiot!' JD Vance's old diplomacy post comes back to haunt Trump

03/26/26 10:02 PM

President Donald Trump's diplomatic approach was under question on Thursday as the global economy took a massive hit amid the Iran war — reviving an old comment from Vice President JD Vance. Trump has admitted that the war has gone on longer than he would have preferred, and it's uncertain what next steps would prompt the United States to end the conflict in the Middle East, The New York Times reported. It's also unclear who would lead the potential negotiation. Trump had sent his son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff before the war to handle negotiations, but after his cabinet meeting on Thursday, he also added that Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were planning to join the talks expected to happen in Pakistan in coming days — after Iranian leaders refused to talk with Kushner and Witkoff. "The situation is testing the bravado many Trump officials expressed about their early foreign policy initiatives," according to The Times."Turns out a lot of diplomacy boils down to a simple skill: don’t be an idiot," Mr. Vance posted on X last March, praising Witkoff.Former U.S. ambassador to Israel under President George W. Bush, Daniel Kurtzer, called Trump's handling of diplomacy with Iran "a failure," and pointed out that Trump doesn't seem to realize his own goals in the conflict, The Times reported. "Trump says he wants to de-escalate, but does he even know what that means?" Kurtzer said. Kurtzer also explained that Trump's 15 demands for Iranian leaders "are nonstarters, because they would require Iran essentially to give up on everything."

'He's talking about the ballroom': CNN anchor sums up Trump's wartime cabinet meeting

03/26/26 4:36 PM

CNN's Wolf Blitzer returned from a commercial break to summarize the multiple topics President Donald Trump addressed during his latest cabinet meeting on Thursday. The 79-year-old president addressed a variety of topics after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth provided a rosy update on the war in Iran, and Blitzer caught viewers up to speed before returning to the meeting at the White House."Welcome back, we're continuing to follow the news over at the White House, the cabinet meeting," Blitzer said. "The president over the last several minutes has been getting into all sorts of other issues beyond the war with Iran, beyond the TSA lines at the airports. He's talking about the ballroom that he's building at the White House, talking about the new Trump Kennedy Center building that he wants to close for two years and then rebuild. Talking about all sorts of other issues, going after Democrats at the same time. Let's go back to the cabinet."CNN cut back to Trump, who embarked on a four-minute tale about ink pens, with a brief discursion into his ongoing grievances against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and renovations at the central bank's headquarters, and the entire room burst into laughter as he wrapped up his story and handed off to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent."Well, sir, as always, you're a tough act to follow," Bessent said."All right," Blitzer said, as producers cut away. "We're going to continue to monitor this cabinet meeting. Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, just beginning his remarks, heard from the president. It's been going on now for almost an hour. We'll take another quick break." - YouTube youtu.be

'It's not going to be pretty': Trump's frustration with Iran finally boils over

03/26/26 11:32 AM

Donald Trump’s promises that negotiations with Iran are going well have been falling flat and he appears to have lost patience.Earlier in the week, the president postponed plans to conduct wide-range bombing of Iran’s energy infrastructure because he said he saw an opening in negotiations — a claim Iran quickly refuted.On Thursday morning, the president lost his temper on Truth Social.“The Iranian negotiators are very different and ‘strange.’ They are ‘begging’ us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only “looking at our proposal.” WRONG!!! They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty! President DJT,” he wrote.That came just moments after he snarled, “NATO NATIONS HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP WITH THE LUNATIC NATION, NOW MILITARILY DECIMATED, OF IRAN. THE U.S.A. NEEDS NOTHING FROM NATO, BUT “NEVER FORGET” THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT IN TIME! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
