- He links concerns to the Iran war and its economic effects.
- He cites steak at about $25 a pound and petrol near $4 a gallon.

## Summary

Richard Littlejohn argues that support for Donald Trump is weakening, based on conversations and the mood he says he has observed in a Florida sports bar. He portrays even a broadly pro-Trump community as increasingly uneasy about the president’s age, decisions and handling of the Iran war.

The article says the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has contributed to an oil and gas crisis, while Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin and the economic fallout are troubling to some Americans. Littlejohn points to a Florida warehouse shopper recalling steak at $8 a pound, compared with around $25 now, and says petrol costs about $4 a gallon even in low-tax Florida. The supplied article text ends mid-sentence.
