How Does Americans largely disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy Work?

Americans mostly don’t like how Donald Trump took care of the money stuff, which is called the economy.

Imagine you have a piggy bank full of coins. Every time you do something smart, like saving up or getting more coins, your piggy bank gets bigger and happier. But if someone messes with your piggy bank, maybe by making it harder to get coins or taking some away, you might start to feel sad about it.

That’s kind of what happened with the economy under Donald Trump. He made a lot of big decisions, like how much money companies pay when they hire people, and sometimes those choices made things harder for regular folks. Some people got more coins (like businesses), but others had to work harder or paid more.

Also, there were some really loud arguments, like if you're playing with your friends and someone keeps shouting over the game. That can make it harder for everyone to focus on what's important.

So even though the piggy bank grew a little bigger, many people didn’t feel happy about how it was handled, and that’s why they mostly don’t approve of Donald Trump's work with the economy.
