Donald Trump has acknowledged a decline in his poll numbers, marking a significant shift for the self-proclaimed “King of Winning.” Amid rising living expenses and the Epstein scandal, his approval rating has dropped to 38%, the lowest since his re-election.

In a somewhat ironic statement, Trump mentioned that while his poll numbers have decreased, they have actually increased among “smart people.”
A DoorDash driver in Oswego, New York, faced controversy after allegedly filming a partially undressed customer during a delivery.

Meanwhile, a new study has suggested that Viagra, a well-known medication for erectile dysfunction, may have unexpected benefits in reversing a form of inherited hearing loss that is typically permanent.

This groundbreaking discovery highlights the potential dual benefits of a single pill, offering hope for individuals with inherited hearing impairments.
