Frustrations are mounting in the White House, a former insider revealed Wednesday. "These are glaring signals – alarms are going off," said Griffin, who served as director of strategic communications during Trump's first term. "You and I were covering that speech last week at the White House Correspondents Dinner. He was all over, and his White House advisers, I talk to many of them, they simply want him to focus on the economy – yet he will not do that." Half of Americans now strongly disapprove of him, while just 15 percent strongly approve — both record extremes.
