The change follows a federal judge’s decision that the center cannot carry a president’s name without Congress approving it. The directive arrives after Trump had put his own name on the bu
A president who once had strong support now faces big problems as midterm elections approach. Approval ratings have dropped sharply from 52% to just 38%, while dislike for the president has grown by 15 points.
