"Trumpgret" today:

[kpete]

When Chad Johansen voted for Donald Trump in 2016, he hoped he was picking someone who could help small-business owners compete with bigger companies. But that hasn’t happened, and now the 26-year-old owner of NH iPhone Repair feels what he calls “Trumpgret.”

The Republican president has done little to address health care issues for a small employer, he said, and the Manchester man remains on edge about how Trump’s tariffs could affect his business, which employs fewer than 10 people. Beyond that, he said, unrelenting news about bigotry and racism in the Trump administration is “a turnoff.”


“The president’s supposed to be the face of the United States of America,” said Johansen, who voted for Democrat Barack Obama in 2012. “And supposed to make everyone be proud to be an American and stand up for everyone who is an American. And I don’t feel that President Trump’s doing that. I feel like it’s chaos.”

1. So, this guy is profoundly stupid?

It has long been common knowledge that Agent Orange and his odious spawn stiff smaller businesses more often than they pay them for their work.

3. Is that all that's troubling you, Bunky?

Cheeto Benito is an existential threat to the planet, so sorry about the blow to your sense of national pride.

4. This sort of weasely phrasing infuriates me:

"The Republican president has done little to address health care issues for a small employer. . . . "

He has done nothing, not "little," which falsely implies that he has done some good.

5. I don't get how you go from voting for Obama in 2012 to following that up with a vote for Trump.

He probably really, really hated Hillary but a third party vote or not voting at all makes more sense than a vote for Trump. The things he claims are a turnoff for him were on full display from day 1 of Trump's candidacy.

6. I'll never understand that!!!

7. Where are your bootstraps young man?

Quit whining

9. You know, I don't care

Anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 who is now having buyer's remorse, I don't care how they feel or burst their little bubble. I just want them to rectify their mistake in 2020, and vote against that motherfucker. There's no upside to insulting them or being snide, just say, "You've reconsidered your 2016 vote? Great. Fix it in 2020."
