The arc of Trump: How the president lost the coalition that put him in the White House
President Trump forged an extraordinary coalition to win office in 2024. A new CNBC survey shows that coalition is now seriously weakened.
What the coverage shows
The Hill and The Independent both foreground Trump’s response to Obama’s Cheesecake Factory comparison, while Breaking Points frames it as Trump “panicking” as Obama “rips” him. CNBC is split: one piece is about Trump’s broader political coalition weakening, and another is the only outlet here to bring in Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dining at Cheesecake Factory and using that as a talking point.
