Who appointed you to speak for every single other Trump voter? That includes me, who doesn't believe that Trump ever intended to deport "ALL illegals". He was just saying that to throw red meat to people like you because he knew that would energize a good part of his base.
And this entire tangent is about Joe Rogan -- who also voted for Trump -- not wanting him to deport "ALL illegals". So when you claim "everybody else" voted for the same thing you did, that is demonstrably false.
Trump himself just mentioned a few weeks ago that he doesn't want to deport every single illegal. So apparently, even he disagree with you as to what he actually intended to do.
You are the one appointing himself to speak for President Trump and what he meant.
I'm saying what I believed he meant. I fully acknowledge that other people may take what he said differently. And that's my entire point -- when he engages in his "truthful hyperbole", it becomes unclear what is meant to be taken literally, and what isn't.
What do you think he meant when he posted this on Truth Social?:
Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!

"Protect our farmers but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA" might be taken as him saying that he doesn't want to deport all the illegal farm workers, just the criminals. Or maybe not.
My point is the ambiguity/lack of clarity.
Pick one
fool, stupid, or a liberal stooge.
Well, if you insist....
70% chance you're a fool, 30% chance you're just dumb.
