Trump won’t back down on tariffs declaring there’s ‘no inflation’ as his latest approval rating is revealed: Live updates

President Donald Trump is not backing down on his tariffs declaring there’s ‘no inflation’ days after sending the world’s economy into frenzy.

Trump wrote on social media on Monday morning: ‘Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place.’

Trump enacted his Liberation Day tariffs on Wednesday, April 2 after market close sending the world into chaos.

But a new DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey actually found the president is more popular now than before his tariffs announcement.

The poll conducted from March 31 to April 3 found that Trump’s approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over the prior week when it was 49 percent. 

He’s set to meet with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday afternoon for his first trade meeting since the tariffs launch. Israel has pledged to enact net-zero tariffs with the United States.

Exclusive:Americans deliver shock verdict on Trump’s controversial 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 berates shocked Bloomberg reporter who asked ‘stupid’ tariffs question

President Donald Trump is showing little tolerance for reporters questioning his new tariff policy even as markets tank, admonishing one questioner aboard Air Force One and blasting ‘weak and stupid’ skeptics.

Trump snapped while engaging with reporters aboard Air Force One after a weekend golfing in Florida.

It happened when a reporter asked about ‘pain in the market at some point you’re unwilling to tolerate.’ It was essentially a way to ascertain whether Trump might buckle in the face of a market meltdown amid a growing trade war or even a recession.

‘This idea of a Trump put – is there a threshold?’ she asked – trying to assess a sentiment that the administration might adjust policies to address a sinking market. ‘I think your question is so stupid,’ Trump snapped back

White House denies a 90-day tariff pause is on the table

The White House on Monday morning denied that a 90-day tariff pause was on the table.

The White House’s @RapidResponse47 X account responded: ‘Wrong. Fake News,’ to a headline that said President Donald Trump would announce a three-month reprieve.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also chimed in.

‘Not true. Nobody can point to a transcript… because it was never said,’ Cheung posted to X.

He was correcting a post from conservative TV network Newsmax that said White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett had said in TV interview that a 90-day tariff pause on all countries except China was being considered.

Hassett had been asked about a 90-day pause on Fox News Monday morning but didn’t indicate it was a reality.

Global financial markets continued to take a nosedive Monday, though briefly ticked back up, potentially due to the 90-day pause rumor.

Trump has been insistent that his tariff plan will work.

Inside new MAGA civil war as Trump tears into ‘PANICAN’ advisers stabbing him in the back on tariffs

By Nikki Schwab, Chief Campaign Correspondent

President Donald Trump tried to hold his MAGA coalition together Monday morning, urging supporters to not ‘be a PANICAN.’

Trump rolled out the new term and described it as a ‘new party based on Weak and Stupid people!’

He then, again, doubled down on his tariff policy.

‘The United States has a chance to do someting that should have been done DECADES AGO,’ the president posted to Truth Social. ‘Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN … Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be a result!’

The demand came as a new MAGA civil war appeared to be breaking out.

Over the weekend, DOGE leader Elon Musk was publicly critical of Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro and pushed that the U.S. and Europe needed to move toward a ‘zero-tariff situation.’

In turn, Navarro described Musk as a ‘car salesman’ during an interview on Fox News on Sunday and said Musk was being critical of the Trump tariffs due to his own business interests.

White House shares staggering number of countries who want to make deals on tariffs

More than 50 countries have reached out to the Trump administration to negotiate tariff deals, according to a White House advisor.

‘They’re doing that because they understand that they bear a lot of the tariff,’ National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on Sunday.

Last week, the commander-in-chief implemented a 10 percent ‘baseline’ tariff on all US trading partners.

Trump says global negotiations on tariffs underway

President Donald Trump revealed that his adminstration is in talks with global leaders to negotiate on trade.

He wrote the following on Truth Social:

Countries from all over the World are talking to us. Tough but fair parameters are being set. Spoke to the Japanese Prime Minister this morning. He is sending a top team to negotiate! They have treated the U.S. very poorly on Trade. They don’t take our cars, but we take MILLIONS of theirs. Likewise Agriculture, and many other “things.” It all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!

With overseas markets tanking overnight, President Trump told people not to be ‘weak and stupid.’

Trump once again stood firm on his tariffs, which wiped away $5 trillion from Wall Street market value after he imposed them last week.

‘The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done decades ago. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a Panican (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!),’ Trump posted on Truth Social, putting the word in all-caps.

‘Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and greatness will be the result!’ Trump urged minutes before markets were set to reopen with Dow futures down sharply.

It came hours after Trump snapped at a reporter who questioned him aboard Air Force One about market pain. ‘I think your question is so stupid,’ Trump said in response.

Online dictionaries did not show a definition for Panican, so Trump may have created the word. There is a Bulgarian rock band called Panican Whyasker.

JPMorgan warns recession unavoidable even if tariffs halted immediately

JPMorgan Chase has warned that the United States is now barreling toward a recession, and that even an immediate rollback of President Trump’s sweeping new tariffs may not be enough to prevent it.

JPMorgan’s chief economist, Bruce Kasman, issued the grave assessment on Thursday, raising the firm’s recession forecast to 60%, up from 40% just days earlier.

The revised figure came following the White House’s announcement of a 10% across-the-board tariff on all imported goods, along with even steeper penalties for nations with sizable trade surpluses.

Pro-Trump billionaire Bill Ackman warns of ‘economic nuclear winter’ as he calls for 90-day pause on tariffs

Trump ally Bill Ackman has warned that the world is on the brink of an ‘economic nuclear winter’ as he begged the president to hit pause on his reciprocal tariffs.

The president’s 10 percent ‘baseline’ tariff began Saturday, hitting all US imports except goods from Mexico and Canada. Further tariffs on goods from 57 trading partners, including European Union, come into effect April 9.

Asian and European markets plunged on opening Monday, with Germany’s Dax down a staggering 10 per cent and the STOXX 600 slumping 5.8 percent. The UK’s FTSE 100 tanked to its lowest level in a year.

More devastating news for artist behind THAT hated Trump portrait

A painter who caught headlines for ‘purposely distorting’ an image of President Donald Trump says her business may never recover.

Sarah Boardman, the British painter who made a portrait of Trump to be hung in the Colorado Capitol, has lifted the lid on how her business has been pummeled after the Republican posted a furious response to her work.

‘Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,’ Trump said of Boardman’s work last month.

Trump calls on the fed chair to cut interest rates

Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place. This is despite the fact that the biggest abuser of them all, China, whose markets are crashing, just raised its Tariffs by 34%, on top of its long term ridiculously high Tariffs (Plus!), not acknowledging my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate. They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump reveals his bold response to world leaders who BEGGED for tariff trade deal… as he gives chilling warning to China

The president, 78, told reporters onboard Air Force One that he has spoken to European and Asian leaders since his worldwide tariffs went into effect – devastating the world’s stock markets.
