Did I make a mistake voting for Trump?

[Anonymous]

I didn't think it was possible to have a worse-looking administration than the Biden administration, but the host of FOX and Friends in charge of the nuclear codes? And tariffs that are going to increase prices. I don't have any political bias towards any particular party, but omg, I hope I don't regret my vote. I hope Trump gets his shit together when he gets office thank god Mike Gaetz resigned because of his sex charge allegations. Trump needs to fix his administration quickly.

[onedarkcloud]

You are going to have to control the thought that you voted wrong. In order to form an opinion about Trump he has to implement his policies just like BIDEN AND HARRIS did. Then the complete destruction of our borders and our economy 2 trillion dollars in debt and growing daily our borders invaded by millions of illegals. Murders, rapes and robberies in sanctuary cities sky high and are now drowning in debt and shit on the streets like NYC. Before this happened, legal emigrants picked the food we eat people followed the rules that have been circumvented and replaced by illegals. Our economy has tanked because of the 2 trillion dollars that helps every other country but us. The administration has sold our emergency fuel reserves to lower fuel prices inflated by Biden, and we have less than a week's worth of reserves left if we have to go to war or an emergency, we have nothing not one gallon of reserves has been replaced. All I hear is people crying wolf of what COULD happen and people reading between the lines on BOTH sides.

[zagor]

I see, and Trump was the only other person in the country?

[onedarkcloud]

@zagor You are only 300 million short on that number!

I voted for Donald Trump, I voted for Donald Trump because I thought he'd create a better America for everyone but after reading 800 or so pages on Queer Feminist theory I realise how much I've been duped. You gotta understand I come from a small steel town in Pennsylvania if I had known the foundational texts on intersectional theory I would never have chanted "lock her up lock her up!"

We were told Hillary Clinton was the enemy but it's clear now the true enemy is a patriarchal capitalist soceity that maintains its ascendance by making powerful and ambitious women appear threatening only to protect my status in a system purposely designed to benefit CISET white males like myself. Jesus.

Wheñ Donald Trump said that he would make America great again, it's obvious to me now that he was only trying to play off my own complicity and comfort in an unequal social structure that disproportionately strips women and minorities particularly trans and genderqueer people of color of their autonomy and seeks to subjugate and inveterate to an intentionally antagonistic androcratic order. I get that now after I attended a gender-fluid non-binary poetry slam at the Swarthmore. A couple of other guys from work attended it too and now it's all we talk about on the line.

I liked Trump because he tells it like it is but do you know who teally tells it like it is? Judith Butler "Gender is not to culture as sex is to nature; gender is also the discursive/cultural means by which 'sexed nature' or 'A natural sex' is produced and established as prediscursive, prior to culture, a politically neutral surface on which culture acts"

Why I now regret voting for Trump!

If I had just known thst back in November 2024 I would have never voted for Trump. God... how could I have been so stupid?

[Julie_TS]

I believe so... mainly because I have a very strong feeling that the next four years will be nothing but the 'Trump Retribution Tour'. That every morning he wakes up it's going to be 'who are we getting today?' instead of trying to get things straightened out. You won, isn't that retribution enough? Move on, stop talking about & dealing in the past. Don't waste time, money, resources, energy, etc on that, do the things you said you would to fix the country.

I didn't vote for him, but I also have no issue with him being re-elected and it's time to do the things you promised for the country. Stop with all the rhetoric, name calling, etc and let's start moving forward.

[ConorJ]

Interesting take, didn't really consider that. Yes, I voted for Trump.

[Twalli]

Trump did promise retribution. Pretty much daily.

[Anonymous]

Gaetz resigned so the investigation into the sex related charges would be stopped, so he could accept Trump's appointment as Attorney General (That would be funny in a cartoon but only sick in real life). And Trump does not need Senate confirmation because he will appoint his staff during a Senate recess which allows confirmation without their approval (more fucked up corruption of Democracy by Trump). The reasons you list in your question show how terrible the Trump presidency will be!

Yes, your vote was a mistake, but because of the millions of others making that same mistake, you lone vote does not really matter.

It is going to continue to get worse!

[Syntosi]

Yes, I think you very much made a mistake. To put it bluntly, almost no one who served in Trumps previous administration still supports him and a lot of them went to prison afterwards.

Even if you dont look at what Trump actually did back then, or what he plans on doing in the future, his ability to make a team is by itself possibly one of the worst in American political history. He can't be trusted to run an icecream truck, much less an administration that governs the worlds super power.

[Anonymous]

lmao. the Biden administration was full of trannies, soyboys and feminists

worst administration ever. couldn't fix the economy except tank the economy

opened the borders, traded a WNBA player for a Russian assassin, let the Taliban take over Afghanistan while losing 13 soldiers in the process

[goaded]

Why didn't Trump get that American back from Russia when he had the chance? Perhaps in exchange for the rare hi-tech Covid testing machines that were desperately needed in the US that he sent to Putin?

How many of the 5000 Taliban prisoners Trump had released from prison while setting an end date for the US in Afghanistan were involved in the bombing, do you think? He also reduced U. S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500, even though the Taliban continued to attack Afghan government forces and welcomed al-Qaeda terrorists into the Taliban leadership.

The rest is just obvious lies, the US economy has recovered really well after the pandemic, better than almost any other country's.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded all the lies you mentioned didn't happen under Trump. they happened under Biden

factcheck. org has a left leaning bias

www.allsides.com/.../factcheckorg-media-bias

[goaded]

If in doubt simply claim the other person is lying, even when you know they're not.

"Russia has confirmed that Donald Trump sent the Kremlin sample Covid-19 tests in the early days of the pandemic"
edition.cnn.com/.../index.html

"Up to five thousand (5,000) prisoners of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban and up to one thousand (1,000) prisoners of the other side will be released by March 10, 2020..."

Who was president in 2020?

Fun link, www.allsides.com/.../factcheckorg-media-bias Online voting to determine a source's bias? What could possibly go wrong? Even then it's "Lean Left bias is a moderately liberal rating on the political spectrum." Gosh, how terrible.

Here's a thought; they check more facts from the right because there are more lies from the right. Duh!

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded

"If in doubt simply claim the other person is lying, even when you know they're not."

lmao the projection is strong in you. the amount of times you've blatantly lied would blow up a lie detector and using fake news sources like CNN to "help" you

[Friendlybro79]

My 401k doubled under the Biden administration. I suppose that means the economy was terrible under Biden?

[Opinion Owner]

@Friendlybro79 when there's families struggling to pay their bills, put food on the table, homeless people in the street, petrol prices, groceries, car insurance, home insurance, jobs being shipped overseas, nobody is going to movies and nightclubs anymore. yeah the economy was terrible under Biden.

[goaded]

If in doubt simply claim the other person is lying, even when you know they're not.

You know I'm not lying when I say Trump released 5,000 Taliban prisoners and send rare Covid testing equipment to Putin when the US needed it (and didn't even get a political prisoner freed in exchange).

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded cut the BS

you lie so much here, nobody believes you outside of DrPepper12 and OddBeMe who ironically lie more than you

[Friendlybro79]

Who controls the prices of those items or services? The executive branch? Did Trump end homelessness?

Who decides when Americans get a pay raise? The president? Oh and which one is trying to increase wages? Republicans or Democrats?

[Friendlybro79]

Can the president tell a supermarket lower your prices? We don't want you making this much profit? Which candidate was going to go after price gougers?

[goaded]

"If in doubt simply claim the other person is lying, even when you know they're not."
Anyone can see who's lying here, and it's not me.

[shewolf98]

We had tariffs under Trump - they did not increase prices. We had Biden - his printing money made inflation as his former Democratic economists warned in advance. We have an open border. Increasing crime. Worldwide planetary war... this was not hard. Trump is not a moral man, but the alternative would have been far worse. Had the Democrats simply closed the border, and said men can't play sports with women, they would not have lost. They are insane - the other side is corrupt and buffoonish but at least sane.

[virgo2267]

I can certainly respect the person behind this excellent thought of reply. 🫡

[mattthefatbat]

Well almost everything Trump's administration have plans for are written in English and visible to everyone and he has spoken of his plans for his entire run for president. So I don't know, it don't seem like you made a mistake honestly. You made a choice.

[Daniela1982]

I'm just wondering if he can do all the things he promised without raising the National debt another $2 Trillion. Deport all the illegals and finishing the wall, no taxes on OT or Tips, lowering taxes, and a host of other things. Where is he planning on getting all this money from to do it? I can see a hard road ahead, but at least he will try which is much more than Bite-on did.

[Syntosi]

2 Trillion? His first term was much worse than that. The actual cost of Trumps first term was between 7.8-8.4 trillion dollars.

[virgo2267]

The thing about deporting the illegals is: Who will be doing the work they do when they are gone?
Surely I don’t think white boys will be happy about washing dishes for menial pay… or how about all those landscapers who make the city look a lot nicer than your average joe? White men are interested in making 12$ an hour?
Think before you say such stupid comment. It is much better for people to think your stupid than for you to actually say something that confirms you really are

[Daniela1982]

@virgo2267 I'm sure they will be replaced by legal immigrants. Legal ones need someone to sponsor them to guarantee they will have a job and a place to stay so that they will not be a burden on taxpayers. This sometimes can take years and thousands of dollars, so the government needs to speed the process up some.

[HighValue]

Instead of believing the bs liberal media, just wait and pay attention to the actual results when he is in office with his team. Believe your own eyes with what happens instead of what the dishonest media tells you. You will be happy that you voted for Trump if you wait a couple years to see how things go.

Clearly, you didn’t learn your lesson the first time round. Speaking from over the pond, Trump’s appointments will align to make the USA a very dangerous and unpleasant to live or visit. The only one who will benefit is the corrupt clementine waiting to take up office in The White House. As the proverbs goes, As you sow, so shall you reap. Enjoy the next four years you’ve chosen to elect.

[MrOracle]

You don't seem to realize that there will be very few if any new tariffs. The THREAT of tariffs will be enough in most cases to change behavior.

And it's the change of behavior that is the goal, not new tariffs.

[Syntosi]

So we have gone from saying that putting tariffs on everything at 500% is a great idea to now claiming there will be "very few" of them and the THREAT of new tariffs will be enough?

The fact that you people are beginning to take back your words and climb down from your previous positions is very telling on the dawning realization that is beginning to sink in. We were right, you were wrong, glad you are coming around to our way of thinking.

[Avicenna]

@Syntosi: Trump didn’t suggest 500% tariffs. You are wrong, and you’re a liar.

In all likelihood, the threat of new tariffs is a negotiating tool. And funny how you weren’t complaining when previous tariffs put into place by Trump were kept by Biden.

You lost the election because you lied, censored, discriminated and had bad policies. Now you lie and say Trump voters are coming over to your side even though you’ve doubled down on the same lies and same failed policies.

[Syntosi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILTlNkJdA4I

Well then. I guess I must have misheard him say that he would not mind putting 500% tariffs at about 1 minutes into this video.

[MrOracle]

@Syntosi As I said, the THREAT of tariffs will, in most cases, be all that is necessary to enact change. Few if any will actually be implemented, and those that are may be rescinded once changes are made.

[Syntosi]

@MrOracle
Even if that is true, which I dont believe in the first place, I dont trust Trump to either use threats intelligently nor use them in moderation. The way Trump has historically handled negotiations or policy like this is blanket bans that is not rescinded.

Things like his Muslim travel bans for example. He does not do nuance or details. He only operates in broad strokes and absolutes.

[blueonblack22]

This has to be the best thing leftists had heard on GAG in the last 10 days. You seriously just made their day posting this question. They were literally begging God to hear something like this.

Trump has had since 2916 yo get hs shit together and hasn't succeeded. Whyvfo you think he will especially since he's showing clear signs of actual dementia now.

[NewWaves]

Did you do your research on any of them? Do your research, honey.

[NewWaves]

Let me ask you something, OP. What did you vote Trump for? What convinced you? What did you support? And how do you think those picks are not going to being about what you were hoping for?

[Avicenna]

From your comments, it’s obvious you’re a Democrat and didn’t vote for Trump.

[Dargil]

I would have made a mistake NOT voting for Trump

[Staximus]

The "host from Fox and Friends" is a Major in the Army reserve and has served in Guantanamo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

[goaded]

Ooh! A major! That's, like, one up from captain and many levels down from general, right?

[Staximus]

@goaded 2 steps below general

[goaded]

Lt. Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier (one star) General, Major (two star) General, Lieutenant (three star) General, (four star) General.

Who puts a major (who has never even been responsible for 1000 soldiers) in charge of the whole army?
