'Abandoning him in record numbers': Why independent voters are turning on Trump



CNN's Harry Enten says that President Donald Trump has lost the approval of many independent voters in the United States because of his economic agenda.


Duh... and who's going to DO SOMETHING about it??

I mean, an Independent who voted for trump is independent of a moral compass.

He continues his absolute destruction of the country with little actual resistance. Are his voters out on the streets with the democrats? Nope, sitting in their diners and businesses and complaining about someone they wanted. Was it just the racism for them?

They were warned he was lying.

They refused to remember the "it's 15 cases and it will go down to zero in two weeks" lie, and the 30+ thousands other lies in his 1st term.

Now they are paying the price of their M$M gullible believing.

Go fuck yourselves.

I have less than no sympathy for you now, I HATE you and what your act of stupidity has wrought upon this nation and the world; which may never recover as a result if things spiral out of control any worse than the current rate.

You voted for him - even after knowing everything he did previously, knowing he LIED 50,000 times in one term and tried to overthrow the transfer of power when he lost as well. You voted for him because you could not stand to vote for an imminently qualified and far better option due to the fact SHE was a mixed race woman. Burn in hell eternally you assholes. Enjoy your choice and all of its consequences.

If you voted for him, I plan to have the ultimate bill for this fiasco sent to you as well. I am not going to fogive and forget this... when its over, I fully intend to seek retribution and justice in whatever order they may be obtained. If I had my way, I would fucking tatoo "MAGAt" across everyone of their foreheads in bright red letters. You wanted this, you don't ever get to pretend otherwise.

Just like driving a Tesla is now the equivalent to supporting Nazis, so too will the "former Trump voter" tag be a stain and pejorative forever more - to the tenth generation and beyond. I hope you suffer inordinately for what you've done, so much so that it serves as a premptive warning to future generations that such foolishness is not to be tolerated or excused, ever.
