0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about Trump's |
0:07.8 | support already faltering on his key subject. Trump built his mystique around the idea that he's going to be good for the economy. |
0:17.0 | Many people, even those who aren't MAGA, believed this. |
