Trump’s Approval Ratings Shift Across the States
Donald Trump’s latest approval ratings are out, revealing major shifts. Two states that previously supported him have now turned negative. Eight months into his second term, the 79-year-old president’s agenda has kept him busy.
Executive Orders and Controversies
Since returning to Washington D.C. in January, Trump has signed 202 Executive Orders. These include renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, banning transgender athletes from competing in female sports categories, and establishing a White House Task Force to plan the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026.
He has also introduced the controversial ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’, solicited donations from MAGA supporters, and warned NATO against buying Russian oil, threatening to label them as wasting U.S. resources.
Trump’s shifting tariffs and aggressive immigration policies have sparked protests, particularly in Los Angeles, where demonstrators oppose deportations.
