Few people in the world understand the power of symbols better than Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t just get tough on immigration \u2014 he builds a wall. He doesn\u2019t just cut taxes<\/a> for hardworking people \u2014 he eliminates taxes on overtime and tips, putting money in the pockets of the people who punch a clock. Every policy comes packaged in a picture, a story, a gut-level image that lands before a single word is read.<\/p>\n

So when Donald Trump boards Air Force One bound for Beijing with a plane full of American CEOs \u2014 Boeing\u2019s Kelly Ortberg, Citigroup\u2019s Jane Fraser, and others \u2014 don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that\u2019s just a meeting. That\u2019s a statement. That\u2019s the president of the United States walking into the most consequential economic relationship in the world and saying: American business is in the room. We came to compete. We came to win.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and China<\/a> are working toward a managed trade framework \u2014 a so-called “Board of Trade” for nonsensitive goods \u2014 with both sides potentially identifying around $30 billion worth of imports where tariffs could be reduced. That\u2019s not small ball. But the number almost doesn\u2019t matter. What matters is the optics. What matters is the message.<\/p>\n

TRUMP HEADS TO BEIJING FOR HIGH-STAKES XI TALKS AS TAIWAN TENSIONS, TRADE DISPUTES TEST US STRENGTH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The last time a sitting U.S. president visited China was nearly a decade ago. Trump is the one who made that trip happen. He\u2019s the one in the room.<\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s what the polls<\/a> say right now \u2014 and I want to be honest about them because I think they tell a more complicated story than the headlines suggest.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s economic approval has dropped to 30% in a recent CNN poll, with about two-thirds of Americans saying his policies have worsened economic conditions nationally. His overall job approval sits at 40%, a five-point drop from last quarter, with a net approval of minus 18 \u2014 the lowest measured across either of his terms. The share of Americans saying the economy is “getting worse” has climbed from 25% in January 2025 to 61% today.<\/p>\n

TRUMP POLL NUMBERS ON ECONOMY FALL DURING TRADE FIGHT, SURVEYS FIND<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Those are real numbers. I won\u2019t pretend otherwise.<\/p>\n

But here is what I know as someone who has spent decades studying how public opinion actually moves: Sentiment is a lagging indicator. People feel the pain before they feel the relief. And right now, they are feeling the pain \u2014 at the gas pump<\/a>, at the grocery store, in their wallets. That anxiety is real, and no amount of symbolism fixes a household budget.<\/p>\n

But symbolism matters for what comes next.<\/p>\n

DAVID MARCUS: WHY TRUMP’S MAJOR TRIUMPHS WILL OUTLAST HIS POLLING DIP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

My prediction: We are going to start to see a shift in these numbers \u2014 and this China trip is one of the reasons why. When people see the president of the United States commanding a room in Beijing<\/a>, flanked by the CEOs of America\u2019s biggest companies, fighting for American jobs and American business on the world stage, something shifts. It may not move overnight. But it moves.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump is also the head of central casting. He knows how to fill a room to send a message. When Trump visited China during his first term in 2017, nearly 30 CEOs accompanied him, signing 37 major deals<\/a> worth more than $250 billion. The imagery of that trip \u2014 and the deals that followed \u2014 is seared in the memory of anyone who watched it. He\u2019s trying to recreate that energy now.<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a> put it plainly: “Americans can expect the president to deliver more good deals for the United States while in China.” That\u2019s the bet. And Trump has made that bet before and won.<\/p>\n

The question is whether the American people are watching \u2014 and whether they\u2019re ready to update what they believe. Public opinion doesn\u2019t move in a straight line. It moves in moments. And this week, the moment is Beijing.<\/p>\n
