TRANSCRIPT: Mike:  "And his tariffs cause inflation and are deeply unpopular. About 65% of Americans in the poll say they don't like his economic policy. They don't like the tariffs. 85% of Americans think he's treating Canada badly. His decisiveness has backfired because two-thirds of Americans in polls say he's going too far against the courts and against universities. Immigration should have been the issue 'cause he actually did bring down illegal immigration, where he got positive ratings, but even there he's underwater. There's a net 55% negative view of what he's done because of all the stories of these illegal or unethical deportations. And he has the lowest polling of any president in his first hundred days since polls have been taken 80 years ago of presidents in their first one hundred days. The second worst is him, you know, last time."
