Trump’s Surrender Humiliation Deepens With Brutal Poll

Most Americans do not think the Iran war was worth it.

Donald Trump has been dealt a humiliating blow by a new poll about his Iran peace deal.

Trump announced the long-awaited peace deal during his trip to the G7 conference in France last week.

The 14-point memorandum of understanding, which halts the fighting for 60 days, follows months of negotiations, with Washington and Tehran struggling to reach agreement on such key issues as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the future of Iran’s nuclear program.

But his opponents have blasted the arrangement for containing significant concessions to the Iranian regime while deferring U.S. demands to later negotiations.

New polling shows that most Americans do not believe the deal has accomplished its primary objective.

According to a CBS News/YouGov survey conducted June 17-19, 2026, among 2,519 U.S. adults, 69 percent of Americans believe Iran’s nuclear program has not been stopped, undermining one of the central justifications for the military campaign.

Meanwhile, 59 percent say Iran will continue to threaten its neighbors, while just 29 percent of Americans say the war has successfully advanced U.S. strategic interests, and only 28 percent believe it has advanced U.S. economic interests.Despite these doubts, the poll also shows that Americans are keen for the war to end, with 78 percent of Americans saying the conflict should stop now.

That includes a majority (60 percent) of Republicans, as well as 56 percent of MAGA Republicans.

Meanwhile, the more respondents reported struggling with higher gas prices, the more likely they were to favor ending the conflict immediately.

Since the conflict began, energy prices have spiked. In seven states, the average price of gasoline has topped $5 per gallon.

Oil prices have also surged by about 35 percent. Overall, energy prices are up 3.8 percent.

In total, the war in Iran has cost U.S. households $100 billion so far, according to Moody Analytics. That amounts to nearly $750 a household.

And the poll shows that many Americans think Trump, who has repeatedly downplayed concerns about rising prices, underestimated the impact the conflict would have on the economy.

Nearly two-thirds of respondents, 64 percent, said the conflict has had a greater impact on the economy than Trump expected.

Even worse for the president, the poll shows that 69 percent of Americans do not think the war was worthwhile.

Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict is also rated negatively, with just 36 percent approving and 64 percent disapproving.

Meanwhile, 57 percent of Americans say the war has created more problems than it has solved.

MAGA Bootlicker’s Jaw-Dropping Luxury Splurge Exposed

He was previously the subject of a House investigation into alleged abuse of campaign funds.

A MAGA congressman has been splurging thousands of donor dollars on ski trips and fine dining like someone who didn’t just spend half a decade under investigation for alleged abuse of campaign funds.

Michigan Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga’s campaign spent more than $3,000 on Montana snowmobile rentals and about $440 at fancy Puerto Rico restaurant Marmalade in February and March of this year alone, according to a new investigation by the Daily Beast’s sister Substack PunchUp. Marmalade serves only a five-course tasting menu at $155 a head, plus a $105 wine pairing.

Federal Election Commission filings also show that in April 2024, the campaign spent more than $2,500 at a high-end hotel and ski resort in Aspen, Colorado, including $1,986.15 in “travel expenses” at the Little Nell, Aspen’s only five-star, ski-in/ski-out hotel, where rooms start at $799 a night.

It also dropped roughly $600 on golf, dining, and cigars in Florida the previous Christmas.

At the time those earlier costs were racked up, Huizenga, 57, was still under investigation by the House Ethics Committee over donor money spent at holiday spots including Disney World, Utah’s Deer Valley ski resort, and Michigan’s Mackinac Island.

That probe ran from 2019 to 2024, when the committee closed it without action, citing a lack of evidence that he had “engaged in clear personal use of campaign funds.”

It nevertheless found sloppy bookkeeping had breached conduct rules and that some spending strayed into murky regulatory territory, and told him to take more care to avoid looking like he was living large on donors’ dime. Huizenga has defended Trump’s debunked claims that the 2020 election was rigged and backed his tariff agenda. He first entered politics in the mid-1990s as a protege of former Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, now Trump’s ambassador to Canada, whose old seat Huizenga has held since 2010.

Calvin Moore, a spokesperson for Huizenga’s campaign, told PunchUp that “the House Ethics Committee already reviewed and cleared Congressman Huizenga of any wrongdoing, and we’re not going to waste time rehashing it.”

Moore added that the expenditures unearthed by PunchUp “were part of regular donor events, are thoroughly documented, transparently reported, and fully compliant with all requirements.”
