'He's not the same person': Voters crucial to Trump's win share dismay after 4 months

Source: Raw Story

April 26, 2025 7:28AM ET


The bloc of Donald Trump voters that was vital to getting him over the election line in first place last November were asked just four months after his inauguration for their reactions. Their answer was far from exuberant. “Ummmm,” said one.

The independent voters — a crucial group of voters that effectively decided the general election — were revisited by the Washington Post. “Economically, he’s not the same person,” said Lisa Kirk, who feared “I might lose it all” as she saw her 401K tank as Trump’s business tariff threats took hold.

The conclusion the Post reached after talking to multiple voters was that they “are starting to sour on Trump and his disruptive agenda.” In January, polls showed independents disapproved of Trump by just a tiny percentage. Now, it’s 25% among the same group.

“The sinking job approval among independent voters suggests Trump is not immune to political consequences as he tears up global trade, slashes the federal government, and challenges the country’s system of checks and balances,” The Post wrote. “Trump’s improvement with long-skeptical independent voters helped him win last fall, and their growing disapproval — if it holds — could hurt Republicans in the midterms.”

I can just imagine what goes on in his head as the fools keep applauding him like he is some kind of rock star. "What a bunch of losers and I LOVE me."

Six bankruptcies, including a casino! And they thought he was some kind of fiscal genius?

I realize The Apprentice sold him as this wizard of Wall Street. But I would have thought anyone enamored enough of Trump to sit through his squalid gameshow/reality show would read up at least a little on his pre-Apprentice life. He squandered a $400 million inherited fortune, and has spend his life since then floating on an immense ocean of debt.

Shit, even the Cliff's Notes version of Trump's train wreck of a life should have that stuff in it.

He bankrupted THREE of them! A person would think that after the first two went under he'd get his shit together and at least hire someone who knows the gaming industry. Nope.

He also bankrupted a vodka company, which is even harder to do than bankrupting a casino. But...that's what you get when you put $15 vodka in a $25 bottle and try to sell it to people who know what $40 vodka tastes like.

We're talking about credulous people who were dazzled by the way he was depicted on that show. Those aren't the kind of people who are known for having a lot of intellectual curiosity or highly developed critical thinking skills. They were naive enough to believe that what they saw on TV told them everything they needed to know and didn't feel the need to look any farther.

I think that show really set him up for political success. It made a star out of him, created an image for him that a lot of people were impressed by, and equipped him with a readymade fanbase that was happy to believe whayever he said. When he announced his run and started holding rallies, his fans flocked to them, already primed to see him as a snart, savvy businessman who would know exactly how to run the country. (Never mind that running a country is absolutely nothing like running a business! ) The rest, as they say is history.

He launched into a diatribe about how stupid Kamala was and ranted that he would NEVER EVER vote for her, so he had no choice but to vote for trump. It's as though he was on drugs. There was no talking to him. His views were set in stone and nothing I could say made any impression.

to do what has failed TWICE now.

Obama only won because he has off-the-charts charisma, AND the white wing hadn't figured out yet how to manipulate misinformation and the gullible sectors of the electorate to the extent they do today.

Our next nominee needs to have charisma + track record + minimal automatic "no" votes.
* Note that last is why certain factions are stoking the I/P conflict so much - it hurts any Democrat far more than it will hurt a Republican - and there is almost no possible way to win on that one.

The trouble is that so many people wanted to believe he was someone other than who he really is.
Trump has always been a mean spirited, angry, hate filled, violent man. He's always been first and foremost for Trump, and only Trump. His record is out there for anyone to see.
Sadly, no one is so blind as those who refuse to see, and no one is so deaf as those who refuse to hear.
It's only now, when his voters are realizing how it negatively affects them, that they are becoming "woke" to the shit storm he's unleashing on everyone.
Ya shoulda paid attention, and voted for the person who actually cared about the country, and was dedicated to the Constitution and the rule of law.

And now you taste the tears.

The crazies who didn't listen and voted for him and got us all into this freaking mess just didn't want anyone to notice that it was their hatred and need for control that made them vote for him. I refuse to give them any quarter. They caused this and I will remind them every chance that I get.

I'm glad to see that their minds are changing, don't get me wrong. But the vote for Trump was about more than just a vote for an asshole. It was another asshole in the voting booth casting the ballot. They either didn't like people having freedom in their bedrooms, didn't like women having equality, or didn't like someone just because their skin color was different than theirs.

The number ONE issue that I get from people who didn't vote for Vice President Harris is always abortion. It's the brainwashing over the last forty years from the Sunday pulpit that has made these idiots think they are somehow being righteous by "saving babies". They don't give a rat's ass about who they harm; they just want to feel part of the cult doing the righteous bidding so that they can feel good about themselves. And while we should absolutely welcome them onto the Democratic side, we should never, EVER forget who they are.

He coasted on the Obama economy and took credit for it. This time around that would've been his smartest move. Biden built an even better economy, and he could've coasted and taken credit for it. But his tiny, mushroom sized, fragile ego couldn't live with that. Instead, he had to go and screw it all up.

Too easy to swallow "The Apprentice" hype that painted Donnie as a business genius, and then paint all of his actions currently with the same emotion, 'I do not understand what or why he is doing things, so he must be a smart person, a genius even!'

But every action he takes, every malformed sentence he speaks, shows he is dislocated from reality.

And that is not genius, that is insanity.

'He is not the same person' is often said in domestic violence situations too.
You perceive yourself as the weaker person in a relationship, admire the other person for their confidence and strength, and align yourself with them - on the assumption that strength will be used to protect you and benefit you.
Then it all goes wrong . . . those perceived positives are turned against you.

Trumpism is a combination of insanity, cultism and domestic violence on a large scale.

The problem is clear to those with a functional brain.

The questions should now be:
1. How to protect yourself personally from the ongoing Trump Derangement Syndrome shitstorm?
2. Where to from here as a country?
3. How to fix the global perception of America and where it is going?
(Currently demoted from Global Leader to 'do not enter, monsters be there!')

Some sort of cathartic event, or series of events, need to happen, to purge America and show a new light, set it on a new direction.

I hope people realize how serious this all is, how a resolution is desperately needed.

America walking back support for Ukraine and NATO countries arming up: the chess pieces are currently in place for WW3.

But older now, and demented, as well as corrupt, stupid and arrogant.

55. Trump is and has always been a con man

It appears that many American voters have never had close contact with a con man. If you have had any contact with one, you can spot them a mile off. They need to be more skeptical. Trump's first term was pretty unpleasant, I wonder why people didn't remember that?

58. "He's not the same person" - WTF!

When I read that one of these indie idiots said, "He's not the same person" my blood pressure shot up by thirty percent.

Not to say that tRump 2.0 isn't worse than tRump 1.0 because he's now surrounded by sycophants, has Project 2025 blueprint and the principles (or lack thereof) of Curis Yarvin that guides him.

Still, to say you voted for tRump after all that went down during his first term because you wanted more of the same is absolutely fucking insane.

The only silver lining to what's going on is that many of these MAGATS are going down with the rest of us. Their pain brings me joy!

73. What Did They Think Trump Would Do In His 2nd Term?

About the only surprise he has launched is DOGE. Granted, that is a big one, but he campaigned on all of the other disasters we are witnessing. He campaigned on bypassing Congress and that means excessive use of Executive Orders.
