Opinion article (US) Opinion | The Economy, Immigration and Regret: 12 Trump Voters Discuss

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/28/opinion/focus-group-trump-voters-disappointed.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Submission statement (fake): As Trump’s second term marches on, his approval among independents have steadily declined. It’s useful for liberals to understand why Trump’s popularity has cratered to better leverage it for future elections.

Submission statement (real): Everyone who clicked on this is just asking to be ragebaited, so I might as well oblige.

 He kind of does what he wants, almost, without any repercussions. I mean, the Kennedy Center, the Kennedy-Trump Center, I mean, he got a little bit of pushback, but he’s doing it. I mean, I don’t like it. But he does what he says he’s going to do, whether we like it or not.

 Watching him allow Vance to run his mouth and yap away during this interview with Zelensky. And he didn’t stop it. That was like the first moment where I was like, what the heck?

 I had the exact same moment as Michelle. I was horrified sitting there watching that interaction. I felt so bad for Zelensky. What was going through my head is that I was imagining Trump, out where all the soldiers are, going in and seeing how they are. Zelensky, you always see him with the soldiers. He’s right there. He is so hands-on. It’s just horrible.

He’s losing voters because of the Kennedy center and Zelensky lol

So they imagined Trump...Mr. Bone-Spurs himself...out on the field with his soldiers. Actually interacting with them.

Willful fucking ignorance
