Trump’s “greatest year ever” message runs headfirst into grocery bills, gas prices, and voter frustration.

They examine weak Gallup economy ratings, warning signs for Republican midterm turnout, and a striking interview with a three-time Trump voter who says supporting him was the “worst mistake” of his life. The discussion also covers polls showing Democrats with an edge among certain voters, grocery spending declines, and the tension between Trump’s promises on prescription drug prices, health care, and tariffs.
