    but he is also doing exactly what he said he would do

    No, he’s not, and that’s why people are pissed.

    He hasn’t done anything meaningful to address inflation or the cost of living, and people’s living situations have gotten significantly worse in a short amount of time. And this is in a time where he’s promised to rebuild Venezuela’s infrastructure and sent 40 billion in stimulus to Argentina.

    Further, his promise on immigration was a mass deportation of criminal illegal immigrants, not refugees, green card holders, de-naturalization, and certainly not invasions of courts, kids schools, churches, and most definitely not summary executions of US citizens.

    Very important distinctions to be made here. People are pissed and that’s almost certainly going to be reflected in the 2026 elections.

      He’s been doing all of the awful, harmful, spiteful things he said he’d do. He’s done none of the helpful things he said he’d do. The cultists are still holding out hope that eventually he’ll get around to helping them because he kept the angry and bigoted promises he made. Many will keep burying their heads in the sand because the cognitive dissonance of admitting they followed the wrong man for a decade is too much for their fragile egos to bear.
