Why are so many Republicans now turning against Trump and distancing themselves?

[888theGreat]

His Ballroom shot down. They voted to end Iran War. More to come.

I predicted this would happen. They must distance themselves from trump or lose in November.

inflation continues to go up. Food prices up. Houses not selling. People losing jobs is way up (97000 last month) . Manufacturing in US going extinct. Bit Coin collapsing. National Debt skyrocketing. Credit Card Debt going up. No one can save money. People stopping 401K's. You had Trump say , he doesn't care how bad Americans are getting. Trump acts like a king and the Hell with Americans. He also puts Israel First not America. Americans voting for Democrats now.

Only way Republicans can win is dumping Trump

Republicans will lose anyway

401K's aren't as safe as they used to be. Rules to protect investors just got dumped to allow SpaceX to force your retirement funds to invest in it.

"Traditionally, there is a seasoning period for new IPOs to allow the market to reach a trading equilibrium before a stock becomes eligible for inclusion. However, Nasdaq recently changed its index inclusion rules, effective May 1, 2026, along with the weighting methodology for companies across its indices.

Under the old rules, a new stock had to season for at least 3 months before it could join the index, and it had to have at least 10% of its shares traded publicly. Both of those requirements are now gone. Now, a stock is eligible for fast-track inclusion after just 15 trading days, with almost no float if its market capitalization places it among the top 40 holdings of the Nasdaq-100."

Look, I do not spend my time worrying about political trends or why people shift their alliances. My focus remains on the time I noticed a neighborhood cat stuck in a tree. Instead of using a ladder, I decided the most efficient way to reach the feline was to park my truck directly beneath the branch, climb onto the roof, and leap. I missed the branch entirely, crashed through a neighbor’s prized hydrangea bush, and accidentally wedged my boot in a rain gutter. The cat jumped down on its own, safely navigated the ground, and walked away while I was dangling upside down by a shoelace. I considered that a complete victory because the cat was no longer in the tree. If people want to distance themselves from things, that is their business, much like how I managed to save that entire block from the threat of a mildly confused kitten by turning myself into a human lawn ornament for three hours. Focus on the results, not the method.

They like clowns?

Elham Sadeghi, the Iranian mother was trapped under the rubble of the American and Israeli bombardment for seven hours.

She could hear her child living out the final moments of their life, saying, "Mom, I'm thirsty," and she could do nothing to help. After she was eventually pulled out from under the rubble, she learned that her husband and children had all been killed in the bombing, leaving her the sole survivor.

Two months later, she succumbed to grief and went to join them.

Was this the war that Israel and America wanted?

For years they sent soldiers to the Middle East and raped the wives and daughters of Muslims.

A lot of Republican congressmen and senators are on the way out and have been bought. The ballroom will be built regardless and the UFC match will go ahead.

The vote against the war was the result of 4 RINOs , one of them was Thomas Massie that was just primaried.

the ballroom is still on track despite a liberal federal judge's ruling. The economy is doing great. It was anticipated that 65,000 jobs would be created and the real number was 134,000, mostly in the hospitality, healthcare and local government sectors. Thre majority of 401K plans are racking up record profits and there are new factories being built every day in the US which will soon be hiring.

Don't look at a few RINOs and think that President Trump is no longer the best president since WW2.

Don't forget his tariff policy that killed trade. He hasn't actually completed anything you could call a success and almost everything he's tried has been shut down or scaled back because its illegal. He's created much more problems for the US and hasn't solved any.

[Anonymous]

He did the opposite of what his campaign promises were and he has transitioned from MAGA into MIGA. War with Iran was really the tipping point for supporters and voters to turn on Trump. I've been interacting on social media with 3 time Trump voters who are done with Trump, some even the Republican party.

[NathanDavis]

that's just the political thing to do... during election times

they have no sides, they have interests, and that's all...

[indissoluble]

The "Big Lie" doesn't work in the modern world anymore Nazi. The information war is much different now.

[Likes2drive]

Not really seeing that unless they are just impatient with how things are going. If the fed lowered interest rates, housing would start going crazy selling again everywhere and if they finished the Iran war things would get better

Even rats have the good sense to leave a sinking ship or a building on fire.

[Miristheiss]

Just keep deporting people and keep the border secure.

[Anonymous]

Trump is an idiot and anyone who likes him just doesn't know him. Republicans were fooled into thinking they had a good president and are realising it now.

[DryGermanGuy]

Maybe they got tired of winning? 🤔

[Mike_Hum]

You’re such a bot.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Not nearly enough, though.
