Trump’s Republican Approval Falls From 88% to 79%

Donald Trump’s approval among Republicans has fallen from 88% to 79%, according to a new ABC News poll. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ examines why Trump's own supporters are losing confidence, what Republicans are saying about the White House, and what it could mean for the November 2026 midterm elections.

One in five Republicans now disapproves of Trump. In my business, that's customer churn. In his, it's treason.

And the polling is only the beginning.

TJ breaks down a remarkable week of political turmoil: White House press secretary Katie Zacharia's departure after just five days, the allegations surrounding Kimberly Guilfoyle's removal as ambassador to Greece, and a Fox News poll finding government corruption is voters' biggest concern.

Then there's Trump's Russia policy. A controversial Russian diesel arrangement, growing tensions with Ukraine, and questions surrounding Elon Musk's Starshield technology raise an uncomfortable issue: What exactly is America getting from these decisions?

Across the Atlantic, Emmanuel Macron faces widespread unrest in France, where anger over living costs has escalated into riots, thousands of arrests, and the destruction of a historic city hall.

TJ connects the stories through one question: What happens when political leaders blame their countries for their own failures?
