Believe it or not in this sort of hellscape of a week, it's only Thursday.

But we know enough already to say that this has been the worst week of Donald Trump's second term.

He suffered a humiliating defeat in his effort to stop Congress from passing the bill to release the Epstein files,

which he was forced to sign last night in a bit of a humiliating fashion.

He didn't have any press there or anything like that. His various obsessive efforts to prosecute his political enemies are all completely

of the job he's doing as president by a 17-point margin. That's the worst approval

rating he's had in that poll during his second term. Voters also think Trump's economic

policies are hurting them more than helping them by a 31-point margin. Remember, this is the guy

attempts to blame the bad economy on Joe Biden, voters say Trump is more responsible than his

predecessor for the state of the economy by a 30-point margin. Every time we think these numbers

can't possibly get worse for him, they do. And what does Donald Trump do when all this news is bad for him?

When all anyone wants to talk about is his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and what exactly is

in those files, when every headline in push alert shows him losing ground and losing support,

including among some of his own supporters. Well, for starters, he tries to silence

his critics. He starts lashing out a journalist, calling them names, as he did with two female

reporters this week, calling one of them Piggy. He renews his calls to take away broadcast licenses
