Donald Trump was back on the stump for the first time in months on Tuesday. The polls all say Americans are unhappy with his presidency, and with his economy. Can he reverse the tide?

But before that he was sitting down for a blockbuster interview with Politico. In it, the president eviscerates Europe, and Europe's leaders.
