Is Donald Trump fit to be US President? Take our poll and have your say Donald Trump has made numerous comments and decisions that many would argue have made him unfit for office, including alleged corruption, threatening to wipe out Iran, and imposing crippling tariffs Donald Trump has emerged as one of the most controversial figures in modern US history, but with Americans facing crippling cost of living pressures and with no end in sight for the war in Iran The Mirror asks: Is he fit to be president? The Republican firebrand stormed to victory in 2024 after promising no new wars, cheaper prices and lower immigration rates into the US. Fast forward two years and prices are up, Americans have to deal with yet another war in the Middle East and families seeing their loved ones ripped from their homes or family members being shot dead in the street by ICE agents. It is unsurprising then that Donald Trump's approval rating has collapsed ahead of the Midterm elections, where Republicans are expected to face a drubbing from Democrats. A damning Reuters/Ipsos poll highlighted the president's spectacular fall in public opinion, showing Trump's approval rating hit a record low of 32 per cent. Chief among his blunders is the Iran war which spiked the cost of petrol across the globe and was keenly felt by Americans who rely on their cars to travel, sometimes several hours, for work. Average petrol prices in the US have jumped to between 38 and 44 per cent since the outbreak of the war. Growing frustrated at the state of the war, Trump threatened to wipe out the country, normalising mass violence against people in Iran. It was a spectacular own goal by also hitting Americans in their wallet while walking back the major campaign promise of no new forever wars. Trump has justified his war as being necessary to prevent Iran from soon being able to obtain a nuclear weapon - his claim has been challenged by numerous international analysts. Naturally, the effect has been felt in across the globe with drivers in the UK also feeling the rising cost of petrol among their cost of living concerns. Trump second term also upended the international order with the White House incumbent infuriating his NATO allies by threatening to annex Greenland while hurling insults at them from across the Atlantic. Not satisfied with sending the price of oil into the stratosphere, Trump also hammered his allies and foes alike with crippling tariffs. The move effectively taxed goods being sold inside the US that had been produced overseas. The double blow hit manufacturing and businesses in the UK and other countries while also forcing US companies to either swallow the additional costs or pass them on to customers. Many Americans have complained the state of the economy is their number one issue with Trump's tariffs now being viewed as increasingly unpopular, according to multiple polls. While Trump has seen success in cutting immigration numbers down significantly along the US-Mexico border, his methods have been even come under question - even among his supporters. The killings of Alex Pretty and Renee Good sparked outrage after ICE agents appeared to open fire despite both arguably posing no imminent threat.
