Americans deliver shock verdict on Trump's controversial new tariffs

President Donald Trump is more popular now than before he sent the global markets into a frenzy by enacting sweeping new tariffs.

An exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey of over 1,000 registered voters conducted from March 31 to April 3 found that the Republican remains largely popular in the U.S.

The poll found that Trump's approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over last week when it was 49 percent.

Trump's rising approval rating is surprising given the flak the White House has received over the tariff order signed Wednesday.

It is up by 13 points since March 7 among those aged 18 to 29.

Trump also saw a six-point increase

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but China can sucky sucky long time. We shouldn’t even be trading with them.

America has been bent over a sink for decades. It’s like playing chicken. The world wants him to veer to the side, but Trump accelerates and come straight for you. Eff them.

Americans are a lot more intelligent than the DemonRATS and their toadies in the RAT “media”. Fear is all the DemonRATS have to sell. Americans are the boogiemen.

Evidently, Trump's tariff policies aren't as controversial or as unpopular as the Establishment media would have us believe.

Ditto what you said. I’m tired of seeing everything being made in China.

I am far from the heartland, rust belt, Appalachia, you name it, but my heart goes out to all the livelihoods — lives— lost to the opioid/fentanyl and suicide epidemics that have swept our nation for the past decade plus - due to loss of manufacturing, trade, jobs, and products sent to and received from overseas.

The trade war has already claimed casualties and led to physical carnage. Yet America has not been fighting back till Trump.

Also aware that the so called booms & boons in trade favoring places abroad on paper often benefit only the elite of other countries, not their average citizens. Same toxic dynamics that have been at work here, are just as pronounced abroad if not more. MAGA is making other countries great ‘again’ too. Our tariffs will domino effect for a reset we have all been needing in more ways than one.

Prayers up.

Probably not many here remember how scary the first couple of years of Reagan were, for many this period of Trump’s will be similar, they remember Reagan of course, but not those scary first couple of years.

We couldn’t wait to vote for Reagan, we enthusiastically supported the reasons we voted for him in regard to Russia and the economy, but man was it scary watching the transition from implementing his bold radical visions to when they proved to be correct, we were on the verge of nuclear war at first and the economy was getting worse at first, and of course you know where the media was everyday on all those negatives, but then the results started kicking in.

On inauguration day, I’d have instituted a 100% embargo on China and crashed their economy.

CHINA IS NOT OUR FRIEND!

=================================================

I wonder what happened to these intelligent Americans when Obama was elected twice by huge margins. They must have gone on a vacation.

195 countries in the world and all except for three or four that are tiny and don’t matter have tariffs in place. Yet we’re told that if the U.S. does it we will be ruined as a result. Sounds to me like a bunch of bullies who all carry baseball bats around, but when you start to pick one up they suddenly scream to drop that because it will hurt you.

Trump didn’t hide the ball or moderate his views. He was honest about what he was going to do. Now he is doing it.

What the democrats and their voters are saying in their resistance is this:

“Trump has no right to keep his campaign promises. It doesn’t matter what he promised. WE ARE IN CHARGE. Win, lose, whatever, we are in charge. What should be happening is that we get our way OR ELSE!! Otherwise, you are a threat to “our democracy”. In our democracy we are in charge and your obey or else.”

Political opposition is one thing. What we are seeing from the rudderless Dems and their followers is spoiled entitlement rub amok.
