President Donald Trump is convening his Cabinet this week for what looks to be a “reset” — wisely so, as his agenda has hit a rough patch, with bad polls and big worries about the November elections.

Team Trump is doing a lot of good, but overshadowing those achievements right now are some ugly optics and confusing-or-worse communications.

No two ways about it: The Trump Justice Department settlement of the Trump IRS lawsuit looks terrible.

A blanket guarantee that the prez and his family will never ever face an IRS audit? A $1.8 billon “anti-weaponization fund,” courtesy of the taxpayers, to be doled out to people who claim they were victimized by Biden-era “lawfare” — with no evident need to even show evidence?

This is on a par with Joe’s final-days blanket pardons for Hunter and the rest of the Biden clan.

And it landed about the same time the prez disclosed that his personal account has made 3,600 stock trades with total values of $220 million to $750 million while he’s in office.

His personal fortune has reportedly more than doubled since his second term began, from $2.4 billion to $6.3 billion.

Add in his sons’ extensive, highly lucrative crypto dealings with Gulf state Arabs and other foreigners. 

None of it is a good look, however legal or above board it may in fact be. It comes at a time when regular Americans suffer spiking energy prices (and the ensuing economic troubles) caused by the Iran war — sacrifices that may be worth the gain of permanently defanging the Islamic Republic, but sacrifices nonetheless.

It doesn’t help that, as far as almost anyone can tell, the war is stuck in a bizarre Twilight Zone: Now largely paused for much longer than the weeks of actual offensive operations, with no clear sign of just how or when it will end.

Rises in inflation are outstripping the rise in wages for the first time in years. 

The result? Last month’s Fox poll found that more than a quarter of Republicans don’t believe Trump “cares about people like you.”

And, in CBS/YouGov polling, Republicans’ approval of Trump’s handling of inflation was down to 63%, from 74% in March; among all voters, it fell from a bad 33% to a worse 27%.

Loyal Trump voters think the president is doing great, but should be aware of how this looks.

We are going backward on inflation, despite the stock market, and while Democrats are crazy, the conflict-of-interest stuff is going to stick, especially if they come away from November with oversight powers.

All this has Republicans in Congress fracturing, with Senate chief John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson increasingly hard-pressed to move the Trump agenda along.

We by no means want to put all Team Trump’s troubles down to “poor communications,” but whatever public message they’re trying to send, and what policies they should rightly be proud of and crowing about, sure isn’t coming through.

Somebody needs to get on top of this, with an eye not just on the White House speaking directly to the public’s concerns, but on how what it’s doing looks to average Americans.
