Summary of Backlash Against Trump Administration Policies
Trade Tariffs A majority of voters opposed broad import tariffs on steel, aluminum, and Chinese goods, citing rising costs for businesses and consumers.
Federal Layoffs (“DOGE” Firings): The mass downsizing of federal agencies under the Department of Government Efficiency met with strong resistance due to concerns about job security and service disruption.
The Social Security Administration's Plans to reduce SSA staffing drew the highest public disapproval, as many feared delays in benefit processing and threats to retirement security.
Leaked War Plans via Signal Using a third-party encrypted app for high-level strategy discussions provoked criticism over operational security and undermined trust among allies and the public.
Conditional FEMA Funding Tying disaster relief to foreign-policy compliance (non-boycott of Israeli companies) sparked outrage among MAGA supporters and state officials, forcing an immediate policy reversal.
Abrupt Policy Reversals Frequent U-turns on tariffs, diversity program rollbacks, and other signature initiatives created uncertainty and eroded institutional credibility.
Electoral Consequences Job losses, healthcare insecurity, and governance missteps in swing regions contributed to narrower GOP margins and shifting voter loyalties.
