President Donald Trump gave his second term an A+ rating Thursday, praising his administration’s performance on government and economics. The assessment came as his favorability nears record lows and his party appears poised to lose the House and possibly the Senate because of dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy. Trump made the remarks at the White House before traveling to Texas to promote his administration at Peterbilt Motors Co. He has twice this week blamed his own team for failing to communicate what he considers the administration’s achievements since taking office nearly two years ago, and said the press is not treating his administration fairly. Persistent inflation, gas prices above $4.40 a gallon and mortgage rates above 7% are creating political headwinds for Republicans, including those in ruby-red states.
