'Half the country still dislikes him': Trump warned he could 'find himself in trouble'

Raw Story  

Donald Trump is being warned he needs to tap the brakes on some of his most prominent initiatives lest he find himself alienating voters who gave him the benefit of the doubt.

China could react to Mr. Trump’s tariffs with a blockade of Taiwan, or perhaps by taking nearby islands now controlled by Taiwan. They concluded, "If Mr. Trump focuses on settling scores rather than raising incomes, Democrats will sweep the 2026 midterms and progressives will return to power with a vengeance in 2028," before cautioning, "A second presidential chance would be a terrible thing to waste."
