ANALYSIS — President Donald Trump has spent recent days leaning into cultural issues championed by his “Make America Great Again” base amid the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein saga, as he looks to reinforce his still-solid support among Republican voters.
Still, at the six-month mark of his second term and with several legislative achievements already behind him, Trump’s approval numbers with other voting blocs have been trending downward as Democratic lawmakers try to make political hay out of the latest scandal.
White House aides aimed to kick off the week, which is slated to end with Trump traveling to his golf courses in Scotland, by touting what they say is a raft of historically impactful and swift accomplishments. Take this Sunday X post on the White House’s official account: “ATTENTION: TRUMP DIDN’T COME TO PLAY. All gas. No brakes. The winning will continue. The deportations will continue. The memes will continue. THE GOLDEN AGE WILL CONTINUE!”
