Trump Voters Are Sharing If He’s Lost Their Support, And There’s One Friendship Of His That They’re Verrrrry Upset About

Several people are going viral for admitting they regret voting for Donald Trump, so we asked people in the BuzzFeed Community who voted for him to share what he could do to lose their support.

In reaction to that post, several more people were inspired to share how the president could also lose their support in light of an international trade war and cuts to the federal workforce.

The responses were eye-opening. Here are a few of them:

1.“I have to give him a year before I’ll have regrets. He needs to follow through, or at least make headway with his campaign promises.”

“But think of this: A lot of corruption has been exposed in a short time. The depth of it sickens me, and he’s not done. But we need indictments, or it’s all for nothing. Liberals hate everything he does. I really like that. It tells me he’s doing the opposite of the last four years.

The United States can’t breastfeed the world forever, and we’re trillions in debt. If Harris/Biden/Obama were in office now, it would be corruption as usual. Sorry, I mean business as usual. Remember, Trump is not a politician, he’s a businessman, and that’s why I voted for him.”

2.“I am embarrassed that I voted/believed in him. He should be impeached. How did our Republican Party get so low? How can we treat our neighbor like Canada with so much disrespect? And Elon is a joke! We are the laughingstock of the world!”

—Anonymous

3.“If he does not charge 5,000% tariffs on anything and everything to those Canadian fucks we subsidize. They STEAL from us Americans and should either pay a 5,000% tariff or become the 51st state, the same goes for Greenland. They can be the 52nd state.”

4.“Already has. Pardoned Jan. 6 criminals, threw Ukraine under the bus, crashed the stock market, spit in the face of most of our allies, and took a chainsaw to the federal government when he should’ve used a scalpel. I voted Republican, but that wasn’t a vote for Trump. It was a vote against Biden.”

—Anonymous

Editor’s Note: The phrase “crashed the stock market” is being used as hyperbole here. The stock market did not crash.

5.“Nothing, honestly. The tariffs could become problematic, but he really hasn’t done anything that bad yet.”

6.“He lost it!!! I was a Marine for 30 years. The biggest reason I’ve voted Republican is because I want a strong defense, but I’m still a Black man. To remove the history of the Tuskegee Airmen, Montford Point Marines from military academy teaching just to benefit his white racist base is highly offensive. Heroism and patriotism don’t have a skin color. No more Trump and no more Republican Party for me. Ever.”

—Anonymous

7.“He will lose it if he keeps putting these unreasonable tariffs on our allies.”

—Anonymous

8.“The president’s policies have caused quite a bit of chaos in my industry, but I support him. We will have some pain righting the ship and having a stable future. This is the price we have to pay for past bad decisions.”

—Anonymous

9.“Already lost it, acting like a clown in a circus, backed out of every promise made in the election, tearing our economy apart, going against the Constitution, acting like a foolish king in his kingdom, never should have been elected.”

—Anonymous

10.“Fail on the number one reason he got elected, the ECONOMY! So far, he’s done everything to skirt around the issue. He should think about what the tariffs will do to the price of avocados!”

“One more thing. GOP supporters don’t like politics, so we just hear shit going on with Trump and think everything he does must be legal and constitutional. Ignorance is bliss. I wish I could take back my vote.”

—Anonymous

11.“I’m a Democrat who voted for Trump. Why, you ask? Because I’m smart enough to take the long view. After Trump is done, middle America ain’t gonna vote GOP for decades.”

—Anonymous

12.“He promised on day one he’d bring down prices on everything. Exactly the opposite is happening with the tariffs he has enacted. I did agree with securing the borders and removing illegals along with doing away with supporting them when they have not contributed anything to social security.”

“I do wish the administration would take a pause and not eliminate jobs so haphazardly. There are very important jobs/positions that need to be continued, such as research in cancer, science, medicine, etc. There needs to be a step back to reevaluate at a cautious speed.

He needs to help people, not put them in positions where they can’t support themselves and their families. I am sorry I voted for him and have less faith in politicians than I ever thought possible.”

—Anonymous

Fact-check: During his campaign, Trump promised to bring prices down on food, but not everything.

Fact-check: Immigrants who are not in the US legally typically pay taxes and often contribute to social security.

13.“I voted for him three times, and now he really fucked me up. I lost my federal job with the VA, my 401(k) was reduced to about $85K from $125K in a week, and I am not sure when I turn 62 in 2035 that there will be any money in Social Security left for me.”

“And even worse, I’d spent most of my savings (in tens of thousands) buying his stuff like shoes, coins, cards, and DJT stocks. My wife and my two daughters have left me because they couldn’t stand my MAGA attitude for all these years. I do not regret being a MAGA, but now I wonder if I am really not too smart like people said.”

14.“He can’t. Love our president. 🇺🇸”

—Anonymous

15.“I voted for President Trump in 2024, really, for one main reason. I knew that our country was $35 trillion in debt, and this could not continue, so some significant change is required to reduce our debt.”

“I am not, however, happy about the way that Elon Musk has gone around eliminating so many positions at different federal agencies, only to find out later that people who shouldn’t have been, who were terminated, have been hired back. During this past week, Trump announced the tariffs for 180 countries, and I have seen my IRA balances drop dramatically due to the softness in the stock market. Significant change is needed, but I am concerned about the process being used to clearly think through the decisions being made.”

—Anonymous

16.“He already has with the ridiculous tariffs. I do not need or ever want again to feel the stress of watching my retirement accounts go down the drain. Even if they recover, I never should have been put in this position. This will not be forgotten.”

—Anonymous

17.“Nothing will cause him to lose my support. He is the only person with the guts and ability to stand up to the long-standing government corruption. The angry, hostile, and childish behavior of his enemies in the opposing party only encourages increased support and proves he is on the right path!”

—Anonymous

18.“He’s lost it. The list is so long. Being Putin’s lapdog. Being Elon’s lapdog. Trying to replace the Constitution in his own image. The oath he took was to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.”

“All his actions and some of the responses to this survey by still fervent supporters are all for replacing the Constitution instead of preserving, protecting, and defending it. If he can take that oath, which is the foundation of the job, and do what he is doing, he is one of the most severe threats to our liberty and our country.”

—Anonymous

19.“Lose 20% of market value.”

—Anonymous

20.“If he stops deportations.”

—Anonymous

21.“If he doesn’t ‘fight, fight, fight!'”

—Anonymous

22.“He’s already lost my support. He’s a liar. Blatant lies that no one has the guts to call him on. And cozying up to Russia is such a huge mistake. We have an opportunity of a lifetime to stick it to Russia and possibly cause change, and he’s squandering it. Tariffs rarely work. Geez, I could go on for hours. I have many overseas friends, and for the first time ever, I’m embarrassed to be an American.”

—Anonymous

23.“I’m a veteran, and I am extremely upset Trump/Musk have zero empathy for us. We fight for this country and are treated like crap from them. An un-elected billionaire from South Africa gets to determine what happens, though. Disgusting.”

—Anonymous

24.“If he touches Social Security or Medicare or student loans.”

—Anonymous

25.“By being as ignorant as Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.”

—Anonymous

26.“Removing the income-based repayment options for repaying federal student loans.”

—Anonymous

27.“If he doesn’t keep doing what he is doing! Plain and simple!”

—Anonymous

28.“He already has. He and Musk are hurting our country. I even changed my political party because of this. I did not know that when I voted for Trump, I was voting for Musk, too.”

—Anonymous

29.“He has already lost my support because he is the biggest liar I’ve ever come across.”

—Anonymous

30.“I THINK HE IS DOING GREAT!! ANYONE WHO QUESTIONS WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND MUSK ARE DOING ARE OUT OF THEIR MINDS. ANYONE WHO IS AGAINST SAVING MONEY, ESPECIALLY OUR TAX MONEY, MUST BE FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET!!!”

—Anonymous

31.“Investments in the toilet, silly name changes, higher prices on everything, countries around the world hating us, TARIFFS! IGNORING the Constitution, getting advice from people who don’t know jacksh*t about the departments they are heading, divisiveness around the country, misinformation, misogynistic, and lying all the damned time!”

—sportyking33

32.“He campaigned on the promise of removing dangerous, violent, criminal, illegal immigrants from our country, and I was all for that. That is what I voted for. After Election Day, that changed.”

“When asked about why the administration is deporting all illegal immigrants, even with zero criminal convictions, people with families, they simply replied, if they’re here without documentation, they are criminals. When I first heard this at a press conference by the Leavitt lady, I immediately knew I had been a sucker and felt completely stupid.”

—Anonymous

33.“He’s already lost it. He wants any opposition removed, any guard rail removed; he’s targeting people and stripping their constitutional rights! This isn’t conservative in the slightest.”

—Anonymous

34.“Already has. Allowing Musk to control and access the government, pardoning Jan. 6 convicts. I agree with cutting waste, but not how he allows Musk to dictate what elected officials are doing. And Trump endorsing Tesla as our president is wrong.”

—Anonymous

35.“By continuing the clown show. Also, the White House is NOT an Apprentice stage show.”

—Anonymous

36.“He’s already lost it. He has totally shocked me with all the things he’s doing that I would have never guessed, e.g., firing people en masse without checking them out individually. I’m sure glad I’m retired.”

—Anonymous

37.“Stop eliminating federal agencies. Restructure but do not destroy. And please, please stop the rhetoric about Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. There is no reason to bully friends of the US. His arrogance is getting offensive!”

—Anonymous

38.“He lost it on day one in pardoning the Jan. 6 participants. Everyone who lost their job because of DOGE is another vote lost.”

—Anonymous

39.“By not staying honest to the core of all his promises. I know (and I hope any halfway intelligent person also knows) that you can’t always please everyone. However, I will gladly stick by my decision to vote for him as long as he sticks to doing absolutely everything he can and in his power to follow through with all the promises made.”

“No one can clean up a disaster area overnight and have the patience to stay out of the way while the waters are being navigated. Mistakes are accepted as long as there is a plan B for each problem faced. No human can get everything right the first time, guaranteed.

I only ask for honest admission if trying a different way to fix the problems failed the first time, that everyone is treated with respect and dignity and not made to beg for what has already been worked for and possibly sacrificed for, and to graciously get rid of the wrong-doers in power (they know who they are), and replace them with honest God-fearing leaders who will not jump ship.”

—Anonymous

40.“He has, showing who he is, and that’s enough for me.”

—Anonymous

41.“The minute he sided with Putin.”

—Anonymous

42.“He already has. His stance on Palestine is deplorable. A country should belong to its people, and we have NO right to dictate where or what the people should do with it. The US shouldn’t be fighting forever wars in the Middle East either.”

—Anonymous

43.“He lost my support when he threatened tariffs against Canada and Mexico using the excuse of drug trafficking, then he pardoned a notorious online drug dealer.”

“Also, when he allowed Elon Musk to put over 50,000 American workers out of jobs. He launched a domestic attack on the American workforce and American businesses. He never gave a damn about the people who will lose their homes, their health insurance, and struggle to feed their kids. HE DOES NOT CARE.”

—Anonymous

44.“If he supports killing babies, aka abortion.”

—Anonymous

45.“He already did when he separated us from Canada. What a backstabbing son of a gun, ALWAYS pointing his finger at everyone else but himself. And when he allowed Musk and his crew to get into the system with all of our personal information.”
