Trump shows ‘durability’ that was missing in first term

While he has suffered an uptick in criticism following the chaotic rollout of tariffs, President Donald Trump is proving much harder to knock down than in his first administration four years ago.

Some new polls show he has been nicked by the tariff confusion, but it’s nothing the White House said it is concerned about. Polls such as Rasmussen Reports show that after a tiny dip earlier in the week, the president’s approval rating has leveled off.
