Trump voters are in the find out stage and Donald Trump hasn't even been inaugurated yet. Seeing posts all over like this, the Gulf of Mexico becoming the Gulf of America. Donald, what are you even talking about? How about the Gulf of how does this lower prices? Donald, the Trump supporters are saying we never heard you talking about annexing Canada or Greenland or taking over Panama or changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. You promised to lower prices. Oh, wait a minute, Donald. You're now quoted in all of these interviews saying that, that you can't lower the prices. That that's not going to happen. So you just completely lied. And mortgage rates are gonna go back up, which they already are, because the bond market sees volatility with Donald Trump. Wait a minute, Donald. You're not gonna make housing more affordable. Wait a minute. You're not going to bring jobs here. Wait a minute, you're doing a complete shift and change on your view of H1B visas. Didn't you say that you were gonna get America these type of jobs? But now you're are too dumb to do the job, so you need the H1B visa program to be expanded to bring in talent from India because you say Americans are not smart enough to be engineers. Didn't you promise Americans these jobs, Donald? And oh, now you're saying you always supported the H1B visa program. No. Your policy and your ideas have just completely changed, AKA you are a liar. Take a look at here. Some of these other Trump supporters I voted For Brooklyn. I voted for Trump. I voted for Bro. But Gulf of America sounds so crap. What the F. Does renaming the Gulf of Mexico have anything to do with anything? What are you talking about, Donald? I'm worried about how I'm going to be able to afford to live with my two children. I'm worried about policies. Get the F out of here, Donald. And here's the way you need to respond when Donald Trump does all of these WMDs. Weapon of mass distraction stuff. Okay? Cool bro. But how is this going to lower prices? Cool, bro. How is this going to make housing more affordable? Cool, bro. You said you were going to eliminate inflation. President Biden was bringing it down with the Inflation Reduction Act. But what are you going to do to reduce the prices of things? Cool, bro. Egg prices are still going up. Cool, bro. Housing is not affordable. Cool, bro. All of your billionaire oligarch buddies are like mocking and laughing us. How is that supposed to help us? Cool, bro. So Elon Musk's entire strategy with you to derail the continuing resolution is because you wanted to get rid of a provision that would have created more restrictions from American companies to do business in China, huh? Thought you said you were going to be tough on China. Oh, wait a minute. You're just trying to help your corporate oligarch buddies from Mar A Lago do more deals with President Xi Jinping, huh? Cool. Cool, bro. Didn't you say you were going to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours? But now you've already canceled the meeting with Ukraine and you've have some now undefined timeline with Vladimir Putin and when you're going to meet with him. But Putin said he's not going to do a deal unless there's complete and total capitulation by Ukraine. So cool bro. It seems like you've lived. So bro. Cool bro. You said you were going to stop World War 3 from happening, which isn't happening. But now you're going to start sending our troops. You're going to start sending young Americans and other Americans to fight wars in Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Panama. That. That. That's what you're doing. That's cool, bro. That. That's your plan, bro. Here's some additional posts From Trump supporters H1B and his disgusting rhetoric about Mexico, Canada, Greenland and Panama. The more he spews that imperialist nonsense, the more I regret my vote for him. He didn't say any of this bullshit during the campaign trail. I wonder why. Oh yeah, because this shit isn't popular with Americans. We want an Anti war and pro peace president that will work with nations, not threat, threaten annexation and attacks. Trump isn't even president yet. And I'm slowly regretting my vote now. Even with a comment like this. You're slowly regretting it? What would make you quickly regret it? Because all of these things that he's doing seem to be kind of deal breakers, right? I mean, he's gonna, what, do drafts to send you to war against Denmark. That's slowly making you change your opinion or I don't know. To me, it pretty quickly. I don't know. Trump kind of lost me back in 2012 and 202008 or maybe before that. He lost me in the early 90s when he bankrupted most of the companies and he said horrific things about women. And I was paying attention. You know, aren't you guys, like, do your own research? I did my research about this guy's background in business. And when I did my research, it turns out he screwed workers his whole life. That he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Still bankrupted most of the companies he touched was a complete and utter failure. Hung out with Jeffrey Epstein, used Mar A Lago or had Mar a Lago as a location where Epstein found the woman who Epstein eventually trafficked. Trump would talk about going into the locker rooms to look at girls naked during his beauty pageants. I think we, we knew who the sicko was. That was the deal breaker to me. But it wasn't a deal breaker to you in 2016 when he would mock disabled reporters. It wasn't a deal breaker to you after 2020 when he led an insurrection. Mish said, like a miracle, it was all going to go away. That weren't, weren't deal breaker things when he added $8 trillion in debt. And you know, for all of you are saying, oh, but Donald Trump is promising no tax on tips. But like, do you remember what happened during the first Trump administration? Or was there this collective amnesia by you where you forget that Trump's policy during Trump administration one was no tips, that your tips belong to your boss. So perhaps when Donald Trump was saying no tax on tips, there were no tips. And perhaps this was a way to allow bosses to take your tips and then claim it as a way as tax free income. I don't know. I mean, a little. You guys do your research. So what happened with your research? You think the billionaire Donald Trump who brags about his money, who hates workers, who has screwed unions, is now going to be pro union and like workers? Why? Because he brought cold pizza to firefighters you think he likes. He thinks he likes you when he screws firefighters from getting the money they deserve from 9 11. Really? You think he's going to support you as a veteran when he mocks John McCain and calls veteran suckers or losers? I mean, the comment here about your slowly regretting your vote. Maybe it should be more quicker. He goes on to say other people are like you were warned. Trump never spoke about these topics until after he was elected. How was I supposed to know it's not true? We talked about all this stuff. There was a TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 1 Today's.
