POLL: Americans DO NOT LIKE Trump's Foreign Policy
President Trump's approval rating on foreign policy is plummeting.
- 3 minutes
Why don't we jump into some other polls?
As presented classically
as they have been on TYT recently
by Harry Enten, what do people think about
Trump's approach to foreign policy?
Take a look.
Trump's net approval rating
on foreign policy.
You go back to January,
the start of Trump's term.
He was above water, plus two points down.
[00:00:16]
He goes down into the body
of water underwater,
-13 points at this particular point.
That is a drop of 15 points
on the net approval rating since January.
Foreign policy net approval
at this point in a presidency,
the average president plus 17.
Trump in his first term, he was at -12.
[00:00:36]
- Not particularly good.
- And this is a good important reference.
This isn't you know,
this isn't like a back to back terms.
This is nonconsecutive terms
or first terms,
which I think is obviously very important.
Correct. -12 points there.
That was the that was the all
time record for a presidency,
the 45th presidency of Donald Trump.
[00:00:51]
You go to 47. He has broken his own record
when it comes to Russia and Ukraine.
The recent Fox News poll
asked about his net approval rating
on these different countries and where on
Russia dealings with Russia. -18 points.
Dealings with Ukraine. -13 points.
[00:01:07]
No doubt, feelings towards Russia
and Ukraine are impacting Trump's overall
net approval rating on foreign policy.
That will make sense.
I think the graphs and all that.
Very helpful.
But for me to understand
how it's changing over time, I really need
you to, like, drop it like it's hot.
I think that if you then I understand
that things are going down.
[00:01:25]
Please jump if they go up.
Nothing really has.
But anyway.
So he's underwater.
He's worse than he was in the first term.
That's all well and good.
I think there's a case to be made
that the fact that he's only -13 at
this point maybe should be seen as a win.
[00:01:41]
What has he accomplished
in foreign policy so far?
He started trade wars
with the entire world that he had to,
in a humiliating fashion, backtrack from.
First, most countries, then on China,
making us look financially,
economically, way weaker around the globe
than we already had.
[00:01:57]
He has promised to steal the land
and deport the entire population of Gaza,
which would be one of the most heinous
crimes against humanity of our lives.
And he said that he would cure, you know,
cure the situation in Ukraine on day one.
[00:02:12]
And things have only gotten worse
since then.
So the fact that it's only dropped as
much as it has, I think it could be worse
if people were really paying attention.
It might be.
Well, do you know how hard it is
to piss off Canada?
- You know.
- That too?
Yeah, I don't know. He's certainly he's.
[00:02:27]
We've closer ties with El Salvador in some
ways at least than we did previously.
But, Jordan,
what do you make of the polls?
I mean, he still has some support
on other issues.
I think it's misguided, but I've seen some
polls that unfortunately, a good amount
of 30 to 39 year olds have a he has a net
[00:02:46]
support, within that cohort, which is sad.
I think people are misguided.
But on these specific issues,
yeah, it's terrible because again,
to go back to what I said earlier,
he doesn't know what he's doing.
This guy is he's a moron.
He's just like,
he so badly wants to be retired.
[00:03:02]
He ran because of course,
he wanted to escape
any sort of repercussions for his actions.
But also he just likes
the pomp and circumstance.
He likes to feel important.
And then he delegates the work
to everyone else.
He's not somebody who can actually
negotiate these types of deals, these
types of arrangements on a global stage.
[00:03:18]
But the hubris we're seeing
from his campaign is just really shocking.
I mean, as you saw this week,
they're already selling Trump 2028 hats.
Not only is it ridiculous,
it's also unconstitutional.
So it shows that they don't really care.
They're they're thinking long term.
[00:03:34]
They're thinking perhaps violating
the Constitution and keeping him in power.
Who knows.
But it's all just very,
very harrowing stuff.
It's it's just disgusting.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets its wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
