CNN Analyst Says Tariffs Drove Yearlong Approval Slide, Urges Trump to 'Take the L'

A Supreme Court ruling forced refunds to companies that paid the levies.

Overview

  • CNN’s Harry Enten reported Tuesday that Trump has logged 389 straight days of negative net approval since the 2025 “Liberation Day” tariff rollout.
  • Enten called the tariffs a major unforced error and urged Trump to “take the L,” citing a 42-point drop since the 2024 election and a 48-point deficit with independents on the issue.
  • Trump, in a CNBC phone interview Tuesday, labeled the Supreme Court’s February ruling a “little setback” and said he will pursue the tariffs a different way.
  • In the same interview, he said he will remember which companies ask the government to return tariff money.
  • The Court’s decision requires the government to refund some tariff revenue to firms that paid the charges, and companies often passed parts of those costs to customers.
