Donald Trump faced mounting political and regulatory pressure on Wednesday as criticism from allies and oversight bodies intensified over his policies and leadership.
André Ventura, president of Portugal’s far-right Chega party, publicly criticized Trump at a populist event in Ericeira, saying the U.S. president had made “lots of mistakes” in recent months, particularly regarding the war in Iran, which he said was harming the global economy. Ventura’s remarks added to a growing chorus of discontent from nationalist figures traditionally aligned with Trump .
Domestically, Trump renewed calls for former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s resignation after a watchdog report found no criminal wrongdoing but cited lax oversight in a $1 billion cost overrun for the Fed’s building renovations. Trump, who has long sought to influence monetary policy, seized on the findings to demand Powell’s ouster, despite the Inspector General’s conclusion that no federal laws were violated .
Meanwhile, advocacy group Public Citizen urged federal regulators to block White House-funded advertisements promoting Trump, arguing they violated laws against using public funds for partisan purposes. The ads, which the White House labeled as “public service announcements,” feature Trump’s voice and imagery, with more planned ahead of November’s midterm elections .
Trump also acknowledged struggles in messaging his economic record, telling supporters at a White House event that he had done “a very bad job” explaining his administration’s achievements amid sagging approval ratings and rising fuel prices tied to the Iran conflict .
