Rick Wilson and Andrew Wilson spend the week with polling that’s nothing short of brutal for Donald Trump — and it’s not just a bad news cycle. A sharp drop in GOP approval over his handling of the Epstein investigation, cratering numbers on trade, the economy, and cost of living all point to cracks in Trump’s base.
Conspiracy-heavy voters are reacting to the Epstein story, Republican lawmakers are ducking accountability, and Trump’s own emotional outbursts are making it worse. For a man who once claimed nothing could touch him, the numbers suggest his armor is starting to crack, and the erosion is showing up across demographics and key states.
Polling leads into the dangerous territory of corrupted public data, potential market fallout, and the GOP’s appetite for redistricting wars. Political self-preservation, economic manipulation, and a party willing to burn down trust in institutions if it serves the leader all collide here.
Democratic governors may push back hard if Republicans escalate the gerrymandering war. And some in the GOP are quietly questioning whether dying on Trump’s hill is worth it — especially as long-term risks to the economy and market stability become harder to hide.
