President Donald Trump drew an unlikely comparison to a certain Disney princess from CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten on Thursday.

This comparison came after the 80-year-old imposed 50 percent tariffs on most Canadian goods in retaliation for what he calls unfair discrimination against American autos, alcohol and dairy products, despite a Supreme Court ruling in February throwing out most of his tariffs from last year.
Enten told “CNN News Central” that Trump’s trade wars remained globally unpopular.
“I feel like I’m in bizarro world, okay, because the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and hope for a different result,” Enten said. “That is just, simply put, not been the case with President Trump in terms of the train has left the station and the American people have spoken. They hate, hate, hate these new tariffs.”
Back in November 2024, when Trump was re-elected 52 percent of Americans favored new tariffs on imported goods, compared with 48 percent who opposed them – but those numbers have shifted dramatically, Enten said.
“Then we entered the real world in tariffs, and Americans saw the effects of them,” Enten said. “What happened to the opposition to new tariffs, up like a rocket – we’re talking 63 percent of Americans now oppose the idea of new tariffs, compared to just 37 percent who favor it. “

“The American people have seen what tariffs have done to the economy, and they simply do not like it,” he added, “and have turned against the president of United States who, as I said, it feels like bizarro world because from a political standpoint, it is absolutely insanity. They keep trying to do something that the American people clearly, very much do not like.”
Trump’s trade war last year sent his poll numbers into a downward trajectory from which they’ve yet to recover, Enten noted.
“The tariffs were what set Donald Trump off on a pathway to nowhere, on a pathway to a presidency that is a dead end,” Enten said. “Take a look at this – Trump’s negative net approval rating every single poll since March 29, 2025, that is over a year ago. In fact, days in a row, it’s 482 days in which every single poll that meets CNN standards for publication, Donald Trump has had a negative net approval rating.”
Trump and his tariffs are just as unpopular in other countries, Enten argued.
“Trump has been under underwater so long on tariffs both here and abroad that the bottom line is this,” he said. “It’s almost like he is the Little Mermaid. He just doesn’t even come up for air anymore!”
