CNN’s Kasie Hunt: Musk Sinking Trump, Honeymoon Likely Over

Pam Key 12 Mar 2025

CNN host Kasie Hunt claimed Wednesday on “The Arena” that the honeymoon phase of President Donald Trump’s presidency was likely over.

Hunt said, “Today we are halfway through President Trump’s first 100 days in office. And there are new signs that his honeymoon with the American people on what has been his strongest issue may be over.”

She continued, “Take a look at CNN’s exclusive new poll. A majority of Americans, 56%, now say that they disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy. He’s underwater on the issue that voters care about the most. The issue that got him elected, and this is the worst rating of Trump’s political career on the economy, worse than at any point in his first term. So is the whiplash of the past few weeks finally destroying this image Americans have of Donald Trump.”

After playing a clip from NBC’s “The Apprentice,” Hunt said, “So is the Trump honeymoon over? We should be clear. There are some positives for the president in the new poll we have here, including strong approval for his immigration crackdown. And this just in the markets stabilizing somewhat. The S&P in the Nasdaq closing in positive territory moments ago.”

Hunt added, “Their first attempt to rally after that massive selloff that was triggered by Trump’s trade war and his comments about a possible recession. Still, Trump may be putting his own political capital on the line for someone that Americans like a lot less than they seem to like the president. In our new poll, more than half of Americans have an unfavorable view of Elon Musk. He is underwater, and nearly two thirds say that Musk does not have the right experience for his role, slashing and overhauling the federal government. And yet, this is the image that President Trump is leaving all of us with.”

It's CNN.

More and more sources of unaccounted for grants, 'loans', and other fiscal philandering are being found, and the Left is desperate to stop it. Remember, they will tell you the majority (all 10% of them) believe, as if the other 90% is supposed to.

Musk is hitting some things with a brush too broad, but any adjustment to market demands carries discomfort. The market (The People) no longer has high demand for spending, especially when the destinations (ostensibly, at least) of those egregious dips into the public coffers was revealed. There's plenty more where that came from.

We aren't three months in, give it time to sort.

Trump needs to focus Musk on fraud and abuse only.  If left to continue down the path of the endless harassment of the federal workforce, I tell you, it won't matter what Musk finds, come November, 2026, the American people will flip enough to turn both houses of Congress to the Dems.  And where will Trump be one month after the clowns are seated?

Regarding the economy, Trump will get that back on the rails again.  Biden's avalanche has not been easy to halt.  Biden and his whole administration should be indicted for treason.  To right the wrongs of what Biden has done will take some time, perhaps more than one year.  We will see improvements in the economy.
