one of trump’s biggest constituencies is slipping.
“Yikes! Yikes, yikes, yikes! Men under the age of [45] on Trump. He won them in 2024 by five points. Look where he is now.… Down we go to negative 19 points. That’s nearly a 25-point switcheroo against the president of the United States when it comes to men under the age of 45,” Enten continued. “Those men that had switched their allegiances over to the Republican Party are seeing what the president is doing. They don’t like what the President is doing, and they are very much soured on the president of the United States, men under the age of 45.”
their reason? the economy. if only someone could have predicted this.
Trump’s decisions as president—the worldwide tariffs, the war on Iran, the lack of action on housing and affordability—are negatively impacting the same issues he campaigned on, and now the people who voted for him seem to be having some regrets. The upcoming midterm elections will be a rude awakening.
ironically, he also campaigned on those issues too.
Not because of the direction he’s going but because he’s incompetent at it.
Well, because of broken promises, to put it more charitably.
He made plenty of promises about how he was going to improve the cost of living. And while for most of us, it was very easy to see those promises as being false, apparently some people believed it. And unlike most issues, where Fox News can just dazzle them with bullshit and tell them what to believe, the cost of living is something they experience personally and daily. No matter how much the President or his media machine tell them that the cost of living is down now, they still see it at the grocery store and the gas pump.
Knowing what Trump does and doesn’t believe at any given time is a mystery even to him. He doesn’t know what he believes at any given time until it leaves his mouth.
