Summary

Consumer confidence has declined since Donald Trump’s return to office, with the University of Michigan reporting a drop in sentiment and rising inflation concerns.

Many Trump voters are frustrated by market turbulence and sweeping executive orders. Voter Paul Bisson fears economic instability, saying, “That’s not what we signed up for.”

Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.

Polls indicate growing anxiety, with some supporters questioning Trump’s policies and their long-term economic impact.

    Bullshit. Trump supporters have no idea what “market turbulence” means and are cheering the executive orders. This is just manipulative feel-good bullshit.

      This, I keep hearing about how “Thanks to Trump common sense is being restored!”

      And when I ask what they mean by “Common Sense”, they tell me the most transphobic shit I’ve ever heard in my life and give me a lecture about how it’s “time for me to stop playing dress up”

      And I’m like “Dress up? I’m a fucking tomboy who happens to be a transgirl, what exactly am I dressing up as?”

      I know what they mean, but pretending I don’t makes them angrier, and at this point I hope they have strokes.

    Chaos was the main constant his entire first presidency.

    Throwback to his first term when one of his supporters said “He’s hurting the wrong people!”

      I wonder if anyone has done a “where are they now?” on that guy and tracked him down and found out how he’s voted since.

        I believe it was a woman who said it. Either way, their motivation for supporting Trump seems to be to cause harm to people they believe deserve it, and the motivation hasn’t changed.

    Bullshit. I live in a red state. They’re not turning on him at all. You can always find a couple of people to express any view that you want to amplify and write an article pretending they’re representative of their entire group.

    Narrator: “it was exactly the fuck what they had voted for”.

    You wanted a circus, now clutch your pearls as the clowns riot. Democracy’s corpse twitches while you gawk at the monster you stitched from Fox propaganda and Facebook memes. “Not what we signed up for”—as if arsonists get to rage when the flames lick their own shoes. The system’s rotted, but you’d rather blame the maggots than admit you’re elbow-deep in the carcass.

    Enjoy the show. Your messiah’s a carnival barker, and you’re the rubes who bought tickets to the end. No refunds.

    No they aren’t angry. They give zero fucks and just pull an RFK on Samoa. They will simply not to pay attention to “MSM” if it gets inconvenient, and any present change will be chalked up to Kamala.

      I think I have seen a few anecdotal instances where I’m seeing cracks. One of them is likely to lose their job directly because of donvict being in office.

      I have no sense of how widespread it really is, though. There is that guy running that channel about maga leaving the cult. And of course the media they watch will do nearly everything possible, as long as possible, to prop up the illusion of “Trump”.

        That’s very optimistic. Remember people leaving the GOP ship in droves after Jan6? By 2024 they managed to return to trump somehow. Almost everything that happened in the past 3 weeks that is of consequence to peoples livelihoods had been entirely predictable. I wouldn’t count on the judgement, nor the political memory of people with sudden “trumpgret” in 2024.

    What is some? I mean if 1% of his supporters are having second thoughts is that enough to care about. I mean we need REAL numbers not just a few people who suddenly woke up and made the news.
