Summary
Trump’s advisers are reportedly misleading him about support for his tariff policies, claiming working-class voters back them.
However, polling shows most non-college-educated Americans—especially nonwhite voters—believe tariffs hurt the economy and increase inflation.
A Marquette Law poll found only non-college white men narrowly support tariffs. A CNN poll showed 59% of non-college voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of tariffs.
Critics argue Trump’s team is feeding him a distorted view, ignoring backlash and economic risks, which could give Democrats an opening to reclaim working-class support amid rising costs.
At least his caretakers didn’t crash the economy like the traitor’s handlers are doing.
