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.

    You don’t get good and decent people when you are a well known narcissists. At best you get yes men and yes blonde women. At worst you get someone just like you who plays you like a fiddle. This is what he has. A mix of useless sycophants and manipulative opportunist.
