Rove, GOP Voices Criticize Trump Economy at 100 Days

Republican strategist Karl Rove has criticized President Donald Trump's economic policies, pointing to recent Fox News and national polls showing only 38% approval for Trump's handling of the economy and widespread skepticism about his tariff agenda. Rove warns that most Americans believe Trump's policies will harm the country in both the short and long term. While Trump fares slightly better on border security and immigration, he remains unpopular on those issues as well. These criticisms coincide with Trump's 100th day in office, which he marked with a Michigan rally, amid declining approval ratings highlighted by various media outlets. Rove attributes the administration's struggles to both negative perceptions of tariffs and poor communication. The Wall Street Journal editorial board and other commentators have echoed concerns about Trump's leadership, signaling a growing rift within the Republican Party.
