'I believed what Trump said --but not any more!' Behind the voters dumping Donald



"Donald Trump‘s approval ratings are dropping fast. He’s underwater in every poll, with a majority disapproving.

In a CBS poll released over the weekend, 59% of Americans said the economy is bad and getting worse. And a majority lays it at the feet of Trump, clearly seeing the chaos he unleashed with tariffs as a disaster, with 54% saying Trump's policies are more to blame for the bad economy and only 21 percent saying the blame is with Joe Biden."

(My guess is that this jump is with Independents and old style conservatives.. once they take on the mantle of Maga they are a lost cause)

People will look back on Joe Biden's presidency as the last time the American Middle Class had a chance and the last time we had freedoms.

There is absolutely nothing in the Trump agenda for working people, the entire agenda is designed to decimate the lives of working people permanently.

especially after all these years? Were they in a coma during his first term? Do they truly believe he was completely honest clear up until three months ago and suddenly lost his way? What is it with these people?

I guess some people just have to learn the hard way. Unfortunately for the rest of us.

Looking back not only the last 10 years, but the last several decades, once you put a prominent D candidate for POTUS out and they go to work slandering the ever loving crape out of him or her, most of these people will find a way to rationalize getting back to DT.
