So actually, as old-fashioned as it may sound, I believe the normal rules of politics will apply to Donald Trump and Republicans, and they will be held deeply responsible by the American people for their poor policies.

Hi again, everyone. It's now 5 o'clock in New York. This afternoon, Donald Trump is in a political

free fall, a down, down, downward nose dive that started well before he decided to go to war with Iran.

Remember, not even two weeks ago, he was delivering a state of the union address to a nation

already on its last nerve with him

and his agenda, already dissatisfied with the job he was doing. At the time, it felt like political

rock bottom, but if Trump's time in office has taught us anything, it's that there is no such

thing. And so in betraying his base and dragging our country into a new war in the Middle East,

the Trump submersible plunged ever further, exploring new depths of public discontent and angst.

Now his unpopularity is starting to register outside his political bubble,

even those Americans who insist they don't do politics are getting a dose of this on their airwaves.

President Trump's handling of Iran is drawing concern from a majority of the American public.

54% disapprove, while 41% approved.

Ask people, do you think the administration has clearly explained what the U.S. goals are and get a big number who said no.

Then, of course, there's the MAGA base, some of the most outspoken voices saying,

this goes against everything that President Trump campaigned on that, promised to get the United States out of foreign wars,

not to engage in regime change. He campaigned on lowering gas prices, but dismissed the spike.

George, when I spoke with him, he is dismissing the economic fallout of this war.

He often touts low gas prices as a reason that his economic policies are working.

We know Americans are concerned about rising costs.

He now is losing that talking point.

This is the biggest shortage and energy crisis we've had in global history.
