Overview

• In a Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum, President Trump told Rupert Murdoch to get a new pollster, calling Fox’s polling operation “the worst” and saying the pollster “stinks.”
• MacCallum cited a Fox poll showing 52% say the economy is worse under Trump, 32% say it is better, and 18% see no change.
• She pressed Trump by noting unemployment is at a four-year high and grocery prices have jumped, asking when Americans will feel improvement.
• Trump defended his tariff strategy, said auto makers and factories are moving back to the U.S., and predicted visible gains “probably, in about a year or so.”
• Coverage places the on-air clash against a quarter-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell’s warning about stagflation risks.
