#Trump announced Sunday that he would shut down the John F. #KennedyCenter for the #PerformingArts this summer for two years to allow for a “reconstruction” project that he said would permit it to become “without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World” of course all the performances were getting canceled because he sucks, but I’m sure that has nothing to do with it /s

#Investors have piled fresh bets on #gold & European #defense stocks in response to #Trump's threats to take control of #Greenland, fearing a geopolitical rift that could end #NATO, shatter the global order & damage the #dollar.
Although gains in both are expected to continue regardless of what happens to Greenland, investors face the dilemma of how to position for any longer-term fallout.

Perhaps most worryingly for #Trump, who’s become increasingly synonymous with his party, he’s slipped on issues that were major strengths. Just a few months ago, 53% of Americans approved of Trump’s handling of #crime, but that’s fallen to 43% in the new poll. There’s been a similar decline on #immigration, from 49% approval in March to 38% now.
The new poll starkly illustrates how Trump has struggled to hold onto political wins since his return to office.
That is down from 40% in March & marks the lowest #economic approval he’s
registered in an AP-NORC poll in his 1st or 2nd term. #Trump also has struggled to recover from public blowback on other issues, such as his #management of the #FederalGovernment, & has not seen an approval bump even after congressional #Democrats effectively capitulated to end a record-long government #shutdown last month.
Trump’s approval on the #economy & #immigration have fallen substantially since March, acc/to a new AP-NORC poll, the latest indication that 2 signature issues that got him elected [if you discount #sexism & #racism] barely a year ago could be turning into liabilities as his party gears up for the 2026 #midterms.
Only 31% of US adults now approve of how #Trump is handling the economy, the poll from The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds.

A new AP-NORC poll finds President Donald Trump’s approval on the economy has fallen substantially since he reentered the White House. It's a warning about how Americans are evaluating the Republican president's performance as the year draws to a close. The survey finds only 31% of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling the economy. That's down from 40% in March and marks the lowest economic approval he’s registered in his first or second term. Trump's approval also has slipped on other issues that were strengths for him at the beginning of this term, including immigration and crime. Trump's overall job approval hasn’t fallen as steeply.
