That comment about not caring about Americans’ financial situations is backfiring spectacularly on Trump. He now has not only Democrats, but also liberals, and not only independents, leaving him. He whacked that wasp nest with his words, and they are not happy. All the different things, culminating in a war we lost, are not America First, is not what we were told it would be. Instead, it’s ETTD. And we’re stuck with this mad child with his blatant grifts. We already know he’s going to be crabby when he comes back from the China trip. My regards to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump’s blunt statement that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations when making deals has sparked rare pushback from within his own movement, with prominent MAGA influencers accusing him of betraying his base.
When asked by a reporter, “To what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal?” Trump responded directly: “Not even a little bit…I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations.”
Trump has no idea what he’s done. He never bothered to think about it. And now he has SO many people pissed off with him, and it’s not just us. MAGA is breaking away. They have had it with the baloney. They have finally figured out that Trump cares for no one but himself. The rose-colored glasses are starting to fall off their faces and shatter. It’s painful to find out your ‘god’ has feet of not clay, but poo. It’s worse.
The statement represents an extraordinary moment of candor from Trump, who built his 2024 campaign on promises to prioritize working-class Americans and “put America first.” His admission that household financial concerns play no role in his decision-making contradicts the central messaging that resonated with millions of voters struggling with inflation and rising costs.
The candid admission prompted Eric Spracklen, a self-identified MAGA influencer, to publicly denounce the president on social media.
“This is not the same man I voted for. I honestly can’t even recognize him anymore,” Spracklen wrote. “An absolutely disgusting betrayal.”
Spracklen escalated his criticism by directly addressing Trump’s core supporters: “MAGA boomers please wake up, PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.”
From the mouths of babes. Trump does not care and will not care. He tries to keep MAGA happy, so they spend more money on his cheap or “never going to happen” – remember the gold cellular phone? It’s going to be a challenge for them to truly open their eyes – it’s going to be embarrassing and hurt like hell when they realize how much they’ve been hoodwinked, gaslit, plain and simple, screwed over by Trump. We may see a figurative ocean of burning MAGA hats.
The Blaze host Auron MacIntyre also chimed in, saying that “Trump obviously has to say this because the main weapon Iran wields is not some superior weaponry but its ability to hurt the American economy.”
The conservative then added, “That said, this plays terribly to Americans who are already facing financial struggles that Trump promised to alleviate.”
Controversial far-right influencer Myron Gaines asked, “Are we surprised? He is STILL trying to sell the nuclear bomb hoax to justify domestic support for a war that does NOT serve Americans. The only people that want this war are oil tycoons, the military industrial complex, zionists, and MAGA-r——.”
Self-`identified J6 activist Trisha Hope said, “Nothing about this is ok!!!”
The rupture in Trump’s base suggests his core supporters may be reassessing whether his policies align with their “America First” economic interests.
How about all of the above? Each comment has something to share. Iran hurts the American economy. Nuclear bomb hoax. America first. Nothing about this is okay. No, no, it’s not. Trump. Doesn’t. Care. About. Anything. But. Himself. He has his grifts making money hand over fist. He’s the ‘president’ of America, so he has power. What he doesn’t have is as much support as it used to be. MAGA, remember ETTD. He’s sucking you dry to fund himself. Trump is screwing over the United States, and he doesn’t care. We knew this a long time ago.
See you tomorrow!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
