Trump lashes out as political setbacks mount

President Donald Trump lashed out at oil companies and his own US attorney in the Oval Office as political setbacks mount, signaling a loss of momentum for his second term. Trump criticized Chevron for profiting from his Iran war and accused US Attorney Jeanine Pirro of "choking" after she admitted Interior Department errors, not vandalism, caused Reflecting Pool renovation delays. He is reportedly considering removing her, while his approval rating has dipped to about one-third in a recent CNN poll. The president faces broader resistance, including Republican senators blocking his voting restrictions bill and a proposed rule on federal grants. A settlement fund for his allies was rescinded, though Trump has not signed the document, leaving legal uncertainty.
