That's just buyers remorse. He told us how he intended to govern. His opponent told us how he intended to govern. The voters were not mislead.

He’s never achieved a majority vote in any election, FWIW. His claim of a mandate was just as brazen as all the other litany of lies - he’s a lame duck lame duck. The true shame is on the congressional republicans for letting him sully them so deeply and follow him in his self immolation of the entire government and America in the world. The rebuilding will be a major test of the successor, and it’ll be fascinating to see if the Goldwater republicans can become the party of reason again rather than this reality TV idiocracy.

replyThis is the problem when your entire identity and principles boil down to "doing what the social superior tells you to".
This is not idiocracy. It's the prequel. In idiocracy, they understood that they were dumb and put the smart guy in charge.

replyAmericans aren't angry because Trump was wrong, they're angry because it's not working.
replyAfter denying project 2025 and then carrying it out almost exactly? They were misled.b
replyWhat?
replyDuring the election Trump denied knowing anything about Project 2025 and he has enacted a lot of it. I dont know why voters trusted him on that but here we are.
replyTrump is globally famous for lying. It's possibly his most well known attribute? What's the argument here?
replyThe argument is that what he promised and what we got are very different. Saying people voted for this isn't genuine IMO.

replyIt’s not. It’s because he took inflation to the Moon. If he hadn’t had Hegseth at his side, and hadn’t gone into Iran, he’d probably still be treading water.
replyInflation under Trump is half that of when Biden was in.

reply> Inflation under Trump is half that of when Biden was in
replyAnd how did that work out for Biden?
Voters don’t like inflation. Blowing up energy prices by launching a war of choice while shutting down domestic production because windmills isn’t smart policy.
And won via a plurality after losing the popular vote in the last election. The least popular president in history can’t win a majority of popular vote. It’s not shocking he’s deeply unpopular, he never was popular. He’s a won twice on a technicality of the republic created to ensure the rural states wouldn’t be dominated by Virginia in the original establishment of the union.
replyHe’s a pariah everywhere on earth, most especially at home. The sad part is the democrats couldn’t mount a successful campaign against someone so unfit to lead. Now there’s nothing left to do but clean up the mess and undo the terrible harm he has caused and repair what can be once he’s finally out of our hair.
