Why Trump Voters Don’t Regret Their Vote | Ft. John Russell

More Perfect Union | October 10, 2025



We asked Trump voters in West Virginia to reflect on the president’s first 100 days.They told us they liked that he was shaking things up. But they had a message: “Don’t forget the working people. We are holding the country together, and you cannot forget about us.”

    Why are so dumb and uneducated people even allowed to vote in the US?? Of course, Elon wouldn‘t do it for a government salary, he‘s supposedly the richest man in the world. He did it because he could dismantle government agencies from inside that have ongoing procedures going on against his own companies. An Trump.. his first candidacy was a total fiasco and the second even more.. it‘s unbelievable!

    Not misinformation. More like lie after lie. I’d add to that: never have so money dumb, ignorant, hypocritical Christian, inarticulate and blatantly dishonest people had control of the most powerful machine ever created.
    Listen to these people. Then, look at what Harvard and other elite schools have done to the experience of attending. Professors talking about students not attending class, grade inflation.
    The worst of is these people vote against their own interest because of their inherent prejudice, period.

    They backed the wrong horse. After he got them all on the horse, he will buck them off one at a time. Trump only has his and his wealthy cronies interest at heart.

    I really appreciate your reporting. This is exactly what Democrats need to do. To be elected, you need to want to represent all of the country — not only blue or only red states' concerns.

    Sad how most of them just wanted a better life so they voted who promised to do something about it but instead they lose their jobs and medicaid and social security is their life line and even that is about to be lost. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say but i hope you do not regret who you voted. After all what did he do for you in his first term, and what made you believe he will do better this time or atleast do better than the opposition.

    These voters have made a desperate choice. Trump has exploited their desperation and channeled their frustration and anger. He is selling them snake oil. Yes, the system is functioning poorly, but taking a sledgehammer to a car that needs a major repair isn’t a rational way to fix it. There is an underlying assumption that Trump can just order everyone in the world to give them what they don’t have. They will be seriously disappointed. The world will not bend to his or their will. If they want better lives, they need smart leadership and they need the rich to stop accumulating all of the gains. Trump will never make that happen because he represents the rich.

    We can not bring those types of jobs back without competition from China.
    We would have to basically ban Chinese goods from entering the US which would cause a large gap to fill.
    American workers would have to work for such low pay.
    Start earlier stay later work weekends and holidays.

    I'm ashamed to say I'm American. I think of a time when President Biden would say "We live in the greatest country in the world, we are proud Americans" and we were.

    Fast with lie after lie, con after con after con. If you can read try reading Mein Kampf. Hitler had his 4 part plan of lies for the German people but never intended on using it, any of it. You can think of it as Trump's healthcare policy that took him 8 years for "concepts". He has no clue and if musk didn't delete or transfer monies in our government, he wouldn't have government contracts. I really feel we will have an American Nuremberg and not too far off

    18 years old looking like he in his mid 30s he signed all those bills and y’all still don’t have nothing keep supporting them you’ll find out keep talking about he needs more time and you wanted to give him a chance he is on his second term the first term he didn’t do absolutely nothing. I fail to realize he made Covid come out in order to get that money out here for him and his billionaire buddies covid was the escape goat to get money and also trying to kill off people to get more money this is why him and his family bought caskets of business selling caskets overseas, and here profit off of Covid. Yeah I don’t see it. You’re gonna see it eventually. I predicted when he was gonna win office this time that more stuff was gonna come out and then we had a outbreak of Tb and measles and then cut off the CDC so that we don’t prevent these outbreaks and can’t track them and also people coming into our country. People need to educate their selves on how all this works CDC make sure people that’s coming in from other countries are tested and vaccinated before entering our country the fact that he cut them off and we don’t have nobody making sure that testing is available because they have to be funded in order to provide testing for these different outbreaks too, and the fact that outbreaks are starting to spread and mind you him and his friends they control the media so you all are not hearing that much about it right now. It was out there for a minute and then it went quiet because it’s still secretly being spread it but people like this in this video God is gonna give y’all wake up call you can’t vote for hate. and that’s what they voted for only to get rid of immigrants and migrants United States cannot operate on its own. This is why we have trade with other countries. We have people from other countries that help protect us that are allies when we go to war, he is messing up all of that. I don’t know why America thinks that they can stand on their own. We don’t even make the majority of the things that we have and we don’t have the supply and money to do it all on our own. These people are weirdos and dumb he said in his campaign that he’s gonna give his billionaire friend. A text cut you are not his billionaire friends. He doesn’t care that you’re white. He doesn’t care if you’re not rich only if it benefits him, you do not benefit him and when are you all gonna realize that did you hear what this interview were saying if you were talking to Trump and musk what would you ask them for mask is a foreigner he’s from Africa. He shouldn’t even have no say but because he’s a billionaire the richest man in the world, he gets to do whatever he want. What does that tell you people you don’t have billions of dollars they don’t care about what you’re talking about it’s gonna take out to lose your jobs homes and healthcare and be in debt before you wake up for real. he could’ve brought an executive order to lower the food cost that hasn’t happened. He could’ve at least did that in his first hundred days and he made it go higher biting sign an executive order before he left office to lower prescription medication insulin down to $35 and Trump got rid of it because Biden signed it into office so what does that tell you that was something to help people

    Until it directly impacts them, they won’t change.

    The government didn’t send jobs overseas, millionaires and billionaires did. When someone gets paid MILLIONS of dollars to quit and that company has sent jobs overseas… you think the government or president is going to be able to fix that? Companies/CEOs don’t give a damn about us, they only care about their bonuses and stockholders. Period.

    Many of thise who voted for Adolf in the thirties in Germany believed that they were right even after Germany had been defeated by the allied forces. Adolf was their political and spiritual leader, they believed every lie he proclaimed. Parallels to Trump‘s USA?

    Dealing with these kind of people is like trying to teach a cat how to fetch something. You can throw the ball, but as soon as it stops moving the cat will just stare at it until it decides to go shit right next to the litter box.

    "Politicians have been in there for years, and it's not working". Hmmm…and the answer was Trump? 😂😂 Here's a solution stop voting for the same old fogey every election. There are senators still in office from the 1970's and 1980's for crying out loud. They are entrenched and know how to work the system to their benefit. People need to wake tf up yesterday. It's only getting worse. At this rate we'll be lucky to have another election. If we do we need to make it count.
