RNC Chair Blames Trump’s Bad Approval Rating On (Checks Notes) Joe Biden

Trump currently has low marks with voters and Joe Gruters is laying the blame on his predecessor.

The current head of the Republican National Committee is apparently blaming President Donald Trump’s low approval ratings on (checks notes) Joe Biden.

The Republican Party currently controls the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court ― and, frankly, some terrible approval ratings thanks to Trump.

But a new Reuters-Ipsos poll shows that only 33% of Americans approve of the president’s performance while 64% disapprove. It’s his lowest approval since his first term in December 2017.

Considering the midterms are just a few months away, the news obviously isn’t great for the party overall, but RNC Chairman Joe Gruters is prepared. Prepared to blame anything but Trump for her own failures, that is.

Gruters addressed the low approval ratings during a Friday interview on NewsNation.

But if you thought he was going to concede that rising inflation, high gas costs and the war in Iran might be blamed for the bad polling numbers, you’d be dead wrong.

Instead, he decided to follow the lead of previous Republican officials and blame Biden, who, you might remember, hasn’t been president since Jan. 20, 2025.

After host Markie Martin noted that the economy is the biggest factor “when it comes to elections,” she asked, “How do you convince people you’re the right choice to make things like gas and groceries cheaper — and not the Dems?”

Gruters suggested the upcoming midterm convention might help win voters, before suggesting the real culprit to the current political predicament is a man who is no longer in power.

“The president is still dealing with the Biden issues that were left over under the disastrous four years they ruled,” Gruters said before falsely claiming gas prices were higher under Biden.

He also mentioned the Iran war is a factor, despite it being Trump’s doing entirely.



The unemployment rate in January 2025: 4.0%
The inflation rate in January 2025: 3.0%
The unemployment rate in July 2026: 4.1%
The inflation rate in July 2026: 3.4%

There are replies that point out this is nuts but some of the language can not be posted here. This is what BDS looks and sounds like.

I've posted enough smart posts that you ignore to no longer bother with being concerned with what you think. If in fact you do think. No matter what trump says or does you compare it to someone blowing their nose. In your world it appears that's what you deem as "smart". No wonder you're confused.

R.I.P. Frank

First Dusty and now Frank. Two out of three of them gone.

Not really an accurate statement as of right now.


Lowest approval ever recorded Harry Truman 22% (Feb. 1952)
2nd-lowest approval Richard Nixon 24% (1974)
Highest disapproval recorded George W. Bush 71% disapprove (Oct. 2008)
Lowest average approval over a completed presidency Donald Trump, first term 41.1%
2nd-lowest average Joe Biden 42.2%

I see some of the contracts for bench/role guys and I can't believe it - tens of millions of dollars for an 8th man

Teller was not good for us for the past 2 seasons and was a bad signing by Houston. If he plays major snaps they're in trouble on the OL

DW will be let go in March that is when it makes sense.

I cannot see him in Cleveland next year. He is 31 in Sept. Twice torn Achilles. Numerous other injuries. A guy who depended upon mobility and running. He does not want and cannot play the way he did at 25.

SS is a fifth round pick. He is beginning his second year. Right now it appears DW will be the starter. Sander's future is difficult to predict because he has to play to determine his future. Being beat out by DW is a bad sign. In the end it could be he is a fifth rounder.

DG has not shown to date that he can be a starter. Maybe he will have a career like Colt McCoy.

Green is best served by watching right now. Learning what the NFL requires.

It would be great that maybe by the last three games the Browns decide to let him play. When you have his physical tool set. You want to see him grow into the game. No rush keep developing him. When he looks ready. See what he can do.

Nothing has really ever changed for me, either at home or work.

Sorry to hear about the job Purp - hoping you end up on the better side of that one, which I'm sure will happen


Maybe we can plan something for the 21st reunion

And to further muddy the waters Kushner said the talks with Iran that trump said they are not having were ongoing and "robust".

Kushner: US having robust talks with the Iranians, but they’re not ready to make deal we want

18 August 2026, 12:29 am

US special envoy Jared Kushner says conversations between the US and different areas of the Iranian government have probably been more robust than ever, but the two sides have not yet reached an understanding.

So let's try to keep up here shall we?

First they claimed there were back channel talks which were then claimed by trump not to have happened which Kushner said were robust?

I'm going to have to invest in a new lie counter. My last one broke from overuse.

I think he is hospice at home and the next thing we will hear is about his passing.

I'll say:
Ravens 11-6
Bengals 10-7
Steelers 9-8
Browns 5-12

I suppose one could say that. I was raised that by omitting the truth made it a lie. But that's when I lived in America and not trumplandia. I have no idea what the new rules are.

So you claim the entire population of Gaza celebrated the acts of Hamas in October? Or was it a select minority of the citizens of Gaza you saw? You try to use an election held in 2006 as your excuse? You do realize that Hamas has not allowed an election since then, right? And you do realize that children don't have the right to vote. That means that anyone who was under the age of 18 in 2006 hasn't ever been able to vote.

It's strange that any Christian would try so hard to find excuses to kill innocent people. What part of the Bible did you get that from?

You fail to see innocent people because you refuse to look and don't want to see them.

Supreme Court rejects final Trump appeal of $5 million E. Jean Carroll verdict

Carroll has received the money in the 2023 case, her representatives said.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined a request from President Donald Trump to reconsider its rejection of his appeal in the 2023 E. Jean Carroll case.

The decision means it's the end of the line for Trump's bid to overturn a $5 million jury award to Carroll, which the writer's representatives said was paid in July.

The Court did not explain its decision and there were no noted dissents. No request for a rehearing has been granted since the 1960s.

A jury determined in 2023 that Trump was liable for sexually abusing Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, and that he defamed her in a 2022 social media post by calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie" and saying "This woman is not my type!"

In 2024, following a separate trial, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her in 2019 when he denied her allegations of sexual abuse.

Trump, who denies any wrongdoing, is continuing to appeal that judgment with a petition to the justices currently pending. They are expected to decide later this year whether or not to take up the case.

In his appeal, Trump alleges that his 2019 comments about Carroll -- which were later found to be defamatory -- were "official" statements as president and therefore immune from use in a legal case against him.

So in Trumplandia making derogatory statements about a woman involved in a personal lawsuit with you are "official" statements as president?

And the beat goes on......

His career is one of pure craftsmanship.

Augustus McCrae was his favorite character.

He was amazing in The Great Santini, Tender Mercies, The Apostle, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Mash, To Kill a Mockingbird.

No matter what he was in he brought craftmanship.

Now trump threatens to bomb ally Oman.

Another dose of insanity. "Oh it's OK it is trump being trump."

Yes.

Maybe so. I don't know how often that happens. Maybe it should happen more often. You never know when a games critical inning is going to happen. The don't always come in the late innings.

No one has had their injuries disclosed yet. Monken isn’t talking until he has to. I’m not worried about Carson but I am worried about a couple of the others who limped out.

You know the game.......

The degree to which you've lost an argument can be directly tied to how hard you try to pivot to another talking point.

This was a big one.
