How the war in Iran and its economic fallout could lead to Trump's defeat

[gfarber]

1. Plummeting Approval Ratings

There once was a president named Trump,
Who charged into war with a thump.
He strutted up high,
With a boast to the sky—
But public opinion said, “Jump.”

The war with Iran raised a fuss,
Not the cheerleaders hoped for by us.
The voters looked grim,
Less enchanted by him—
And murmured, “Why fight over there thus?”

The truckers saw diesel climb steep,
And groaned at the costs they must keep.
“Pass it along,”
Went the market’s old song—
Till prices made shoppers all weep.

The farmers saw fuel bills expand,
And fertilizer pricey and grand.
So onto the shelf
They passed it themselves—
And groceries grew hard to withstand.

Inflation once steady and mild
Now threatened to run rather wild.
The Fed tapped the brake,
Rate cuts hard now to make—
While gas left SUV lovers riled.

So riding quite high on the hill,
He boasted of strength and of will.
Yet polls told the tale:
When wallets grow pale,
Approval can plummet at will.
