Approval Reasons

Here are some reasons why America voters gave their rating.

 @B9NT4HM from Maryland  agreed…5mos5MO

Below average

The current national security issues involving the U.S. I do not think are being handled in the best way.

  @WildManBagginz  from Illinois  agreed…5mos5MO

Below average

I believe foreign intervention should require Congressional authorization except in immediate defensive situations. I also support reduced surveillance of allies and a more defense-oriented military posture. Current national security strategy appears more unilateral and intervention-flexible than I am comfortable with.

 @B9G2ZSS from Texas  agreed…6mos6MO

Below average

As with many of the Trump-appointed officials, many of them seem focused on the wrong optics.

 @B9V3J66  from New Jersey  agreed…5mos5MO

Below average

National security challenges have not been addressed as effectively or transparently as expected.

 @BBV3NNF from California  agreed…4mos4MO

Below average

because what they said there going to do they did not do it

 @BCV24TF from Florida  agreed…2mos2MO

Below average

The main situations that people are griping over aren't being solved, and are instead being ignored or handled in a way worse way, such as the immigration situation. For the sake of "security," many families are being ripped apart.

 @B99B9K5 from Indiana  agreed…6mos6MO

Below average

American urban areas have become significantly more unsafe in the last 10 years and there has been no change.

 @B8QJXVT from Virginia  agreed…7mos7MO

Below average

Deporting people who aren't criminals, and detaining actual people who are citizens and with green cards, who are in the U.S. legally

 @B74M97C from Texas  agreed…9mos9MO

Below average

Marco Rubio is also another one of Trump's puppets. He only has abused his powers to revoke visas from people based on subjective reasoning and clearly has shown his bias in national conflicts going on; also, dwelling in his conservatism which has done nothing fruitful for the U.S security.

 @B8D76PZ from Texas  agreed…8mos8MO

Below average

The administration’s foreign policy posture has been inconsistent — projecting strength while undermining alliances. Cyber defense and environmental threat preparedness remain neglected. The office feels more reactive to cable news narratives than guided by a cohesive long-term strategy.

 @B6PG998 from Ohio  agreed…10mos10MO

Below average

Anyone who is allowing Trump to get away with the things that he does could not be preforming well

 @B62RF2J from North Carolina  agreed…12mos12MO

Way below average

Mike Waltz should have been charged for the intelligence leak, Rubio should not hold two major positions at the same time.

Way below average

people are getting hurt because of government operations (ICE) and there's nothing being done

 @B6TCXQ8 from Kansas  agreed…10mos10MO

There just letting Trump deport who ever he thinks is a immigrant even if they were born in the us

 @B7H4DPG from Arizona  agreed…9mos9MO

Below average

Too many national security leaks especially under Trump, with the two military group chat incidents

 @B7RW8BD from Texas  agreed…9mos9MO

He knows darn well many of his actions are immoral & illegal, but he just doesn't cate.

 @B7K5BRB from Nevada  agreed…9mos9MO

Below average

Because they stand for the President decisions, which are pretty bad.

 @B6YSXM8 from California  agreed…10mos10MO

Way below average

It's negatively affecting people and doing more harm than good.

 @B8MQ4X7 from California  agreed…7mos7MO

Way below average

He has a horrible character and is sexist and racist. His environmental policies have also cut funding to the EPA as well as conservation non profits and businesses. And, his foreign policy has caused us to be partially responsible and complicit in the deaths of thousands of people in Palestine and Ukraine.

 @44RHX2M agreed…11mos11MO

Way below average

using the Russian election interference narrative from 2016 as a red herring for the atrocities happening under her nose
