Trump hides good things from view

Trump is also wrestling trade concessions from China with protectionist rhetoric that we, we admit, opposed, and prizing open that vast market to an unprecedented extent for American automakers.

On deregulation, Trump has achieved far more than most people realize, doing better than his campaign promise to eliminate two regulations for every new one regulation created.

Some left-liberals bemoan that Trump is governing as a secret conservative under their noses.

Trump has helped the economy by getting out of its way and not hobbling it the way his predecessor did.

So why does the public disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy? It's probably because they disapprove of Trump himself.

Tellingly, Trump's total job disapproval number, 56 percent, is within the margin of error of his economic performance disapproval, 58 percent.

If Trump can't find a way to tone it down, neither he nor his ideas will get credit, no matter how excellent the results he achieves.
