When you are losing polling questions about stuff you've said you might want to do or stuff you're trying to do, when you're losing polling questions like that by 40, 60, 70 point margins, we're pretty close to something that looks like a national consensus view in this country.

Nope. Do you approve of Donald Trump's handling of immigration? No. Do you approve of Donald Trump's treatment of the Kilmar-Abrego-Garcia case? No. By a 21-point margin, no. But credit The New York Times and their editors for actually, I think, really getting right the big takeaway from this poll in all of its detail. The big takeaway really is what they put in the headline.

Voters see Trump's use of power as overreaching. And they can say that credibly in this poll because they asked about it. I mean, outright majorities of the country say that Trump has gone, quote, too far on tariffs, too far on his cuts to the federal workforce, too far. On immigration enforcement? Too far. On his overall changes to the political and economic system? Too far.

Outright majorities of the country say he's gone too far on all of those things. And it's not just that New York Times-Siena poll that's out today. There's also a new AP national poll that's out today, which puts Trump minus 24 on the economy. Whoa. There's a new Washington Post-ABC-Ipsos poll that's out today. Their headline, Trump's immigration ratings turn negative.

He's always been able to count on people being with him on the nasty things he says about immigrants. Not anymore. People are not with him on immigration anymore. The thing he can always count on having a positive approval rating on, not anymore. So it's all bad for Trump. in terms of the public just soundly rejecting everything he's doing, even the stuff that he says just for political effect.

It's having the opposite political effect that he intends. I don't know that we have ever seen another first hundred days from any president this roundly rejected and hated by the American people.

But if you want to talk about a portrait of desperation, show me the political leader who is just flipping the table over, just pulling the pin on the grenade and rolling it into the room. Show me the elected leader who has decided to start arresting judges to see what happens. And we're going to talk in just a moment about what happened already in response to Trump doing that today.
