Wall Street Journal: Trump Voters Splinter Over His Rapid Shake-Up of Washington
WSJ ^ | Feb 17 | WSJ

Staci White said she voted for President Trump because she wanted lower prices and to stop fentanyl from coming into the U.S.

Now, with widespread federal layoffs and expected cuts, she worries her family will lose their house if her partner is laid off from his government-adjacent job. At the dialysis unit where she works, staff have started doing drills for what to do if Immigration and Customs Enforcement comes to deport their patients, some of whom are in the country illegally.

“When we said safer borders, I thought he was thinking ‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country,’” she said. “I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places.” She said she didn’t believe he would actually follow through on some of the more hard-line policies he touted during the campaign.

This is ludicrous. They did exactly thee same thing last week

An unscientific interview with ONE Trump voter and all of a sudden the voters are turning on Trump in ... 3 weeks?

Total garbage... And this is from a supposedly Republican rag..

I've never seen such poor "journalism">

Funny the approval rating and polling data, even in the Alt left propaganda outlets, do not reflect this supposed “change”

They had these stories ready to go even before Trump re-entered the White House.

Someone who is dependent on government income and works with illegals who is concerned about them getting deported voted for Trump?

Either they are too dumb to vote or they are liars.

That wouldn’t surprise me. They tried this last week and failed spectacularly. CBS say he has record approvals. That’s still the last poll I saw so it’s current.

What a disgrace from WSJ

More propaganda. If it were true, they’d be citing actual numbers.

I tend to discount any article as propaganda that starts out with an “appeal to sympathy” from a “woman/man on the street” style approach.
