Disapprove of president after empty deal is accepted (7)
I believe the answer is:
dislike
'disapprove of' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'president after empty deal is accepted' is the wordplay.
'president' becomes 'ike' (nickname of Dwight Eisenhower).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'empty' suggests removing the centre.
'accepted' indicates putting letters inside.
'deal' with its middle taken out is 'dl'.
'dl' going around 'is' is 'disl'.
'ike' put after 'disl' is 'DISLIKE'.
(Other definitions for dislike that I've seen before include "Object to" , "Hostility" , "Loathe" , "Can't stand" , "Feel distaste for (something)" .)
