President attracting criticism from some in both parties after telling NBC ‘there are methods’ in securing a third term despite constitutional barriersImmigration remains a strength for Donald Trump, but his handling of tariffs is getting more negative feedback, according to a poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
