That's a paraphrase from a NYT article back in 2019. IIRC, Rachel Maddow mentioned it prominently on her show a couple of times.

The full quote is "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting!"...Trump's policies weren't attacking the brown people enough, and were in fact harming nice white people like her.

That was the bon mot from an interview with a MAGA chud in the NYT. Chud lives are apparently miserable enough that if Trump isn't beating up on minorities, poor people, LGBTQ, etc. on a regular basis, they go into a tailspin because Trump isn't giving them their constant media dopamine hit to which they have become accustomed.
