'Sobering reality' for Trump as he rages at night to friends about negative press: report

Summary

Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.

The "Signalgate" scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.

His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.

Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.

  • He is surprised that he's getting bad press. That's how stupid Trump is. Not only does he think the things he's doing are good ideas, he legitimately thinks people will actually praise him for doing it.

  • Trump doesn't have friends; he has lackeys and people who want to gain something by getting in his favor. Others follow and agree with him out of fear of retaliation.

  • "friends" you keep using this word but I'm not sure you know what it means.

    People close to him have stated they loathe him. What they love is money and power. Nobody that knows him truly cares about him.
