Event Summary

A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that Donald Trump's approval rating has hit a new low of 36%, with many Americans questioning his temperament and mental sharpness. This decline is attributed to the ongoing war between the United States and Israel against Iran, which began in February and has caused a sharp increase in gasoline prices. Donald Trump has made several explosive outbursts, including threatening to wipe out Iran's civilization and attacking Pope Leo XVI for criticizing the war. He also threatened military force against Denmark over his demand for the United States's annexation of Denmark — Greenland. The poll indicates that 51% of Americans believe Donald Trump's mental sharpness has worsened, and only 26% consider him even-tempered. Public opinion on the war is divided, with only 26% believing the military action in Iran has been worth its costs. Furthermore, only 16% of Americans support a United States exit from the NATO, a move Donald Trump has threatened.
