Jeb Bush warned months ago, and long before the first ballot was cast that Trump supporters would feel betrayed by Trump in short order. It's already started.
In less than a week since Trump won--he's already flip-flopped on a couple of issues.
1. Tonight he announced he is not going to build a "wall"--it will be a fence--LOL If you've ever been to the border there are fences everywhere, many with holes in them the size of trucks. Mexico won't pay for a fence either. He also states tonight that illegals are "terrific--terrific" people, and after the border is secured--they'll decide what to do with the ones here. He campaigned all along on deporting 11 million illegals. Last week he stated that he would only deport illegals in this country that were criminals. (That's something every President has done.)
2. OBAMACARE--NEWS FLASH ---Trump is not going to repeal it. After an hour and half meeting with Obama, he's going to keep it, specifically pre-existing conditions, and children being left on their parents plan until they're 26 or 27. The mandate to have medical insurance will remain intact. So basically nothing is going to change here. Trump couldn't have repealed it anyway, of course his supporters would never understand basic civics. It took a sitting Democrat President, with a "super majority of Democrats in both houses" to give us Obamacare, and that's the only way to get rid of it. Hopefully they can get the premiums down, but who knows?
Next will be trade: Our trade agreements are written into law, and Republicans have always been very pro-free trade. The North American trade agreement between Canada & Mexico aka NAFTA isn't going away. Mexico is our number 2 buyer of American products. There are Walmarts, McDonalds and every other American corporation that have flooded these countries, so Trump not only has Republicans to deal with on these issues, but some very top level American corporations. Republicans will not approve of tariffs on imported goods, that only raise the price on goods to the American consumer and have never created a single job, and they sure as heck aren't going to impose a 35% tax on American auto makers because they purchasing car parts that were manufactured in another country. So if you thought those rusted out factories were going to re--open--forget it--those jobs are gone for good. No investors are going to open up factories so they can lose money.
These were Trump's core issues, that he constantly campaigned on, made millions of promises on, and he's already flipped on 2 of them within 1 week of the election. You've been roped a doped by a con man. You were warned too, and you ignored those warnings.
So the disappointment & anger has already started which I am seeing on other political boards from long time ardent--die hard supporters of Trump. So I am wondering when Trump voters will start protesting Trump with the protesters?
