He wouldn't answer any questions of the press, and he is under a lot of pressure right now. There's been disastrous news after disastrous news for Donald, but he's done working on the taxpayer dime in Melania. They're heading to Mar-a-Lago again. They're heading to Florida. He's taking that vacation early while the American people suffer. Here he is leaving the White House, not taking any questions.
Ben Meiselas 1:51
Let's play this clip right here.
President Trump, can you share an update on the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine?
Ben Meiselas 2:13
Right now, while Donald Trump is leaving, I'll just show you what's going on. This was what CNN was playing as he was going. Donald Trump's polling right now is absolutely disastrous. The American people despise all of the pain and suffering that he has inflicted. Let's play this clip right here.
Mike Grella 2:34
Yeah, it's not good, Kate Baldwin. It's not good. I mean, the trend line here is pretty gosh darn clear. 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 he goes, down into the body of water, underwater, minus 13 points at this particular point. That is a drop of 15 points on the net approval rating since January. During Trump's first 100 days, if this is an audition, he is failing that audition in the minds of the American public. Way underwater at minus 13 points.
Talk to me about this and like other presidents in the first 100 days. How is this looking?
Mike Grella 3:11
Let's put it in a historical context. OK, foreign policy, net approval at this point of presidency. The average president plus 17. Trump in his first term, he was at minus 12. Not particularly good.
And this is an important reference. This isn't you know, this isn't like a back to back terms. This is non consecutive terms or first, which I think is obviously very important.
Mike Grella 3:31
Correct. Minus 12 points there. That was the all-time record for a presidency, the 45th presidency of Donald Trump. You go to 47, he has broken his own record. He is the worst on record at this particular point. He was already the worst. Now he's even more the worst right now. And get that, some quick math, minus 13 plus 17. He is 30 points below where the average president is on net approval when it comes to foreign policy. The American people think he's doing an awful, awful, awful job and they have rewarded him with the record of being the worst i don't know if a medal comes with that but if it did he would get it when so this is broad foreign policy what about what we're folk what obviously today especially we're focused most on which is russia's war in ukraine yeah okay so when it comes to russia and ukraine the recent fox news poll asked about his net approval rating on these different countries and we're on russia dealings with russia
Mike Grella 4:26
Minus 18 points, dealings with Ukraine, minus 13 points. No doubt feelings towards Russia and Ukraine are impacting Trump's overall net approval rating on foreign policy, which at this point is the worst on record.
Harry Enten, thank you very much.

Why did Donald Trump abruptly leave the White House and refuse reporters' questions?

Thank you. All right, I expect we'll see more polls on the 100 days coming soon.
Ben Meiselas 4:47
Also notable, one of the things that we're seeing too, Bloomberg just published an October 14th phone conversation that they got their hands on between Steve Witkoff and Russia's top foreign
