    I mean, Trump is a LOT of things, but he is also doing exactly what he said he would do. Why do they suddenly have a problem with an administration based ENTIRELY on racism, greed and a total misunderstanding of economics and military strategy led by a genuine mentally disabled person. This is EXACTLY what they asked for.

        “He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting 😡”

        Guarantee the lady that said that in 2019 voted for him again. Twice.

        The Nobel Fell For It Again Prize would have just… so many contenders with red hats.

        This is it exactly. They were fine with brown people being hurt but can’t look past a nice white lady being shot in the face over someone’s ego.

            Well people like that will search for any excuse. This is a harder one than children in cages for these people, though, since it does go against the standard narrative.

          Many sure seem to be doing their best to try. We’ll see if it’s enough to matter with the giant IF there’s any legit elections there going forward.

      Ehh, he didn’t give the $2000 tariff credit

      Agree in spirit though. The 90% of what he’s doing was very predictable at voting time, with the remaining 10% being worse than expected somehow

      but he is also doing exactly what he said he would do

      No, he’s not, and that’s why people are pissed.

      He hasn’t done anything meaningful to address inflation or the cost of living, and people’s living situations have gotten significantly worse in a short amount of time. And this is in a time where he’s promised to rebuild Venezuela’s infrastructure and sent 40 billion in stimulus to Argentina.

      Further, his promise on immigration was a mass deportation of criminal illegal immigrants, not refugees, green card holders, de-naturalization, and certainly not invasions of courts, kids schools, churches, and most definitely not summary executions of US citizens.

      Very important distinctions to be made here. People are pissed and that’s almost certainly going to be reflected in the 2026 elections.

        He’s been doing all of the awful, harmful, spiteful things he said he’d do. He’s done none of the helpful things he said he’d do. The cultists are still holding out hope that eventually he’ll get around to helping them because he kept the angry and bigoted promises he made. Many will keep burying their heads in the sand because the cognitive dissonance of admitting they followed the wrong man for a decade is too much for their fragile egos to bear.
