Trump announced the cancellation of planned strikes on Iran, citing the possibility of a quick diplomatic deal, amid ongoing tensions and conflicting reports about negotiations. He maintained a tough rhetoric,claiming Iran called him after learning of the operation and gave &#8220;every last chance&#8221; before &#8220;decapitation.&#8221; Meanwhile, the economic situation showed mixed signals, with jobs decreasing and approval ratings for Trump plummeting to new lows-only 38% approval, and a majority of Americans disapproving of his handling of issues like Iran, immigration, and the economy.<\/p>\n<p>The week saw Trump signing executive orders targeting birthright citizenship, despite legal challenges, and criticizing the Smithsonian for promoting what he calls &#8220;wokeness&#8221; and the &#8220;DEI&#8221; agenda, which he wants eradicated from government institutions. Despite a strong stock market performance, his foreign policy efforts, especially regarding Iran, seem stalled, with ongoing conflicts and failed negotiations.Political strategists John Zogby and Jed Babbin gave contrasting assessments: Zogby assigned an F grade due to low approval ratings and concerning public sentiment, while Babbin gave a C- for some achievements but noted ongoing issues in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Other political developments include the fluctuating Texas Senate race, with multiple polls showing shifting support, potentially impacting the upcoming elections. the piece also highlights upcoming reading material and ongoing political intrigue, emphasizing the chaotic and uncertain nature of current U.S. politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Welcome to Friday\u2019s edition of <\/em>Washington Secrets<em>.

We\u2019ll make a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, there is still an election on. Republicans are split on how much they need Trump for the midterm elections. Some candidates have quietly indicated they would rather such an unpopular president didn\u2019t visit their districts, while others want Trump to focus much more on pushing out economic messaging that will help candidates during a tough part of the cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, Trump flew to his golf course just outside Los Angeles on Tuesday for a Republican National Committee roundtable and reception. Then it was on to Las Vegas so that he could spend the night in one of his own properties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day saw Trump entertain a rally crowd, where he hammered one of the economic successes of his second term: no tax on tips. He also used the occasion to attack Democrats, who, the day earlier, had nominated a string of progressive or socialist candidates in key election races.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back at the White House on Thursday, Trump signed two executive orders targeting birthright citizenship, including one that would outlaw what his officials call \u201cbirth tourism\u201d and another narrowing who qualifies for citizenship. They will almost certainly face legal challenges and likely end up at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump also hit back at reporting that the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/daily-on-defense\/4677227\/trump-rails-treasonous-leakers-spotlighted-us-military-munitions-problem\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/daily-on-defense\/4677227\/trump-rails-treasonous-leakers-spotlighted-us-military-munitions-problem\/\">U.S. war in Iran meant supplies of missiles<\/a> and other armaments were running desperately low, hence the pause on strikes, and claims that he clashed with his <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-hegseth\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-hegseth\/\">war secretary<\/a> over the issue last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Fake News, as usual, is spreading false and completely unfounded rumors. I am extremely happy with the job that Pete Hegseth is doing,\u201d he posted on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, more details circulated of a possible deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, giving Iran considerable power over shipping entering the waterway. Maybe peace requires offering Tehran a face-saving way out of the impasse. But can Trump accept such a compromise?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friday began poorly. The\u00a0economy\u00a0lost 23,000 payroll\u00a0jobs\u00a0in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported, as businesses contended with the energy supply shock from the war with\u00a0Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what did our two political strategists make of it?<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-john-zogby-grade-f\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">John Zogby: Grade F<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brand-new poll taken just on Tuesday and Wednesday by John Zogby Strategies has nothing but very bad news for Trump. His overall approval rating is down to 38%, our lowest yet, with 59% disapproving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news gets even worse when the \u201clikely voters\u201d in the poll rate their approval on individual issues. On handling Iran, Trump rates only a 33% approval and 61% disapproval, and on his signature issue of immigration, he gets his best, but still upside-down, rating of 44% and 51%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirty-five percent rate him positively on the economy, 32% on affordability, 35% on foreign policy, 32% on tariffs, and 40% crime and safety. In every case, there is majority disapproval.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only 29% are proud that he is president of the U.S., while 54% say they are ashamed. In March, the figures were 36% proud and 48% ashamed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A majority, 53%, say the costs of the war in Iran outweigh the gains, while 33% say the benefits outweigh the costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president again said this week that the U.S. and Iran were close to a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but again, there is no deal. In fact, once again. Iranian spokespersons said there are no negotiations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command announced that it has been reduced to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4672860\/us-military-colleagues-creative-ways-punish-iran\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4672860\/us-military-colleagues-creative-ways-punish-iran\/\">crowdsourcing for new ideas<\/a> on how best to pressure and punish Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4669101\/trump-jeanine-pirro-save-her-job\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4669101\/trump-jeanine-pirro-save-her-job\/\">Jeanine Pirro has won the president\u2019s disfavor<\/a> for refusing to challenge a judge who dismissed the Reflecting Pool case of vandalism against an Olympic athlete. Trump wanted her to defy the judge and pursue the case even after a report that the problem was caused by shoddy workmanship, not vandalism. Her job now is in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now, War Secretary Pete Hegseth is on the hot seat for a leak that the U.S. does not have enough missiles to launch a promised full-scale attack on Iran. A new poll by Quinnipiac University reveals that 49% acknowledge they are worse off financially than they were a year ago, and a majority feel the economy is getting worse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>John Zogby (<em><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/zogbystrategies\">@ZogbyStrategies<\/a><\/strong><\/em>)\u00a0is the founder of the Zogby Survey and senior partner at <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/johnzogbystrategies.com\/\">John Zogby Strategies.<\/a> His latest book is <\/strong><\/em><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beyond-Horse-Race-Polls-Should\/dp\/1538197146\"><strong>Beyond the Horse Race: How to Read Polls and Why We Should<\/strong><\/a><em><strong>.

But then again, there\u2019s the Iran war, which he doesn\u2019t know how to get free of.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump signed two executive orders, seeking to get around the Supreme Court\u2019s decision on birthright citizenship. The first tries to end \u201cbirth tourism,\u201d and the second orders his administration not to recognize birthright citizenship in people who are children of terrorists or work for foreign governments. It\u2019s a good try but will have to face the courts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Smithsonian is another issue altogether. For more than two years, the Trump administration has been investigating the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/smithsonian-institution\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/smithsonian-institution\/\">Smithsonian <\/a>for its wokeness and its dedication to DEI, which the president wants to see eradicated from government. The worst incident, by far, is the failure of the Smithsonian to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the nation\u2019s birth adequately, making little notice of the event. Look for massive turnover at the Smithsonian in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dow Jones Industrial Average was at over 54,000 for most of the week. The economy\u2019s doing just fine, thank you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iran war isn\u2019t going well. Trump wants to punish the \u201cleakers\u201d who told the press about our running out of munitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cBored of Peace\u201d deal between Hamas and the BOP is going nowhere. Hamas won\u2019t disarm, and the Israelis won\u2019t pull out of Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Omani deal with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz is also a dead end. The deal is apparently contingent on our lifting of our blockade on Iranian ports and our promise not to attack Iranian infrastructure.\u00a0That ain\u2019t happening either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump seems at a loss to bring the war to a successful conclusion. He keeps threatening dire consequences for Iran if it doesn\u2019t come to the negotiation table and give him what he wants. But it isn\u2019t going to do that, no matter how hard his threats. If you don\u2019t carry out the threats, Mr. President, they\u2019re meaningless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><em>Jed Babbin (<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jedbabbin\">@jedbabbin<\/a>)\u00a0is a <\/em>Washington Examiner<em> contributor and former deputy undersecretary of defense in the administration of President George H.W.
