Trump Shifts His Own Vibe

What he’s been disrupting lately is his own presidency.

The vibe around President Trump’s second term has shifted, and it’s all his doing.

The president entered office with a bit of a wind at his back. His polling was better than the first time around, protesters weren’t in the streets, and federal investigators weren’t after him. The GOP was more united than in 2016 and business leaders wanted to work with him, while the culture was generally heading in an anti-woke direction.

Now, though, his polling is in a marked decline. His job approval rating is sliding.
