As a fellow independent, within 6 months of the Trump term we have the following. I am saying this as someone who voted for him. I am not an "Always Trumper" and try to look at things rationally. I am not loyal to him. I do not worship him. I do not idolize him. To do, or be any of those 3 things is insanely stupid. As Americans we ought to be loyal to the truth, and the truth alone, however much that offends either the Left or the Right. The lies of the Left Wing are insidious, cult-like, misanthropic, and a religion in it of itself. The Right has the same issues.

Negatives of the Second Trump Term:
- No Epstein list, if Trump is to have ANY trust from the people he needs to release the FULL list, no redactions, no hiding anything, but this seems unlikely. This is a betrayal of the millions of people who voted for him. Demand accountability, demand the truth. I don't care who it offends, we need the truth about this.
- Prices are still sky high, Inflation is Rampant and I have yet to see any significant price decreases
- He wants to open up our National Forests to logging
- Still funding Ukraine and still funding Israel, I, and a lot of other Americans want OUT of these foreign wars, and to focus on our own country for once, and start fixing ourselves. Enough is enough!
- Bombed Iran on behalf of the Israelis (who Israel started this whole thing with Iran)
- Has leaned heavily into the Neocons around him (Rubio, Graham, and the like), Trump has endorsed the terrible person that Graham is.
- Massive spending bill, a lot of the stuff in this Big Bill are a lot of spending waste
- Loyalty screenings for anti-Israeli sentiment, we shouldn't be doing this, we have the First Amendment for a good reason.
- Reckless and stupid plans for the US to "Administer Gaza". Gaza should be handed over to some kind of council between various Middle Eastern countries, leave the US out of it.
- Lifted various other environmental protections
- Stupid talk about US expansionism, that just makes him look like a bumbling fool. We don't need to expand the US. We need to fix it.
Positives of the Second Trump Term:
- Massive investment in funding ICE and border security,
- Holding foreign countries accountable and raising Tarrifs on those who do the same to us, its only fair that we do the same that others have done for us
- Eliminating DEI in government, something that I have been wanting to see for YEARS, enough is enough, merit is the best way to hire employees
- Deported many illegal migrants, but its not enough, we need more to be deported, the amount of crime and drugs they bring into our country has got to stop and anyone defending illegal migrants is defending criminal terrorists
- RFK is taking many dyes and chemical substances out of our food, why the hell we need to have that stuff in our food, when almost every other country has it banned or heavily restricted?
- Defunded a lot of the Federal Government under DOGE, though how much that actually impacts things on the ground is tough for me to tell, and most of it is unclear but I like the spirit of the cuts
