Note: Trump's plummeting rating on the economy has pierced the crucial Darwin Threshhold...the point at which his approval rating on handling the economy (31 percent) is actually lower than the number of Americans who do not believe in evolution (33-37 percent), the once solid core of Trump support.
There's still room to drop further. "Trump’s handling of the economy is at its lowest point in AP-NORC polling" apnews.com/article/trum...
With CUSMA negotiations w/Canada & Mexico, as well as the renewal of the one-year tariff truce w/China in 2026, expect more market-moving new tariffs next year.

Trump has promised infinite retribution toward the 21 Republican senators in Indiana who voted against the gerrymander today.
Important note: 11 of those 21 Republicans are not up for reelection until 2028.
So 10 have their terms end next year, though at least 2 are retiring anyway.
