At the Washington Post, Phillip Bump describes Trump’s rapidly falling poll numbers about the economy — as well as for his handling of immigration, which was once his strongest issue — in the following way: “There’s a difference between seeing your elevation descend because you’re in an airplane and watching it go down because you’re in free fall. It may prove challenging for some of the above trends to be reversed.”

Phillip Reese contributed to this report.

As evidence of the intensity of the argument that night, the prosecutor pointed to a remark from the couple’s 22-year-old son, Phillip, who was home from college that summer and witnessed the shooting.

“I tackled him,” Phillip told police.

Talley underscored inconsistencies in the son’s account, including Phillip wavering on his claim that he saw his father fire the gun, and at one point saying he grabbed his replica sword only after the shooting.
