Summary

A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump’s declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.

Trump is “underwater on everything” including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.

The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.

Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as “paid actors.”

    Not sure it will change. The global south and more importantly BRICS has created a system where local currencies are used. It’s basically a currency swap. If this can be extended to all nations there won’t be a currency hegemon at all. Of course while it’s been working well for the countries that are doing it, it’s hard to say what the effects would be on a global scale. Still, we should work towards it. Note I am not talking about the BRICS currency, which is not real. Not even sure why it gets brought up at all.

    *Edit. This is an article about the expansion of China’s currency swap deals.

    Note that while this is about China, all BRICS nations are making currency swap deals with each other. It’s just easier to find articles about China doing this because China is so massive.
