  1. The guy literally pardoned people who were defrauding his own supporters over wall funding. You can only be shocked by this if you have had your head in the sand for the past 10 years.

  3. He’s been screwing them for years … and they are just noticing now? I don’t buy it.

  4. *”But I would vote for him again if he ran for an unconstitutional third term, because he’s still better than any Democrat.”*

  5. ~~Librul~~ MAGA tears. Flood the zone with sh*t. It’s the Republikkkan way.

  6. These titles are not helpful. He is screwing them for years , even enticing them to do a coup – they still voted for him and would do it again. Their opinion is known. Opposite side is the one that needs to regroup, especially those who didn’t vote.

  7. “do not tell us we did not warn you”

    It was, quite literally predicted – and it’s happening 🙁

  8. Even now, they’d still vote for him. “Thank you sir, may I have another?”

  10. Finally, a wannabe politician staying true to his promise .

  11. They’re Shocked! …..Yeah right. Nothing shocks them even the march off the edge of a cliff.

  12. Fake news. They still fly there Trump flags high and proud

  13. They would eat shit to make a lib smell their breath.

  14. We told those clowns what would happen if they elected them. Now it’s coming home to roost.

  17. You wonder what the breaking point is for these individuals. When do they start to turn? When do they stop pretending that Democrats are communists? Do they ever? When the country is in irreparable ruin? Social media combined with low education levels have destroyed this world

  18. well he lost Tucker & he’s losing Rogan. but I feel like antisemitism is the thing that will really lose Trump the country.

  19. None of them read the new republic. They still won’t.

  20. It’s honestly what the entire country needs.

    Trump promised to burn the country to the ground and people voted for it exactly that.

    I don’t see any surprises in this bill.

    So let’s see what that means for folks.

  21. “Wow that’s crazy hey at least he’s not a Democrat am I right?”

  22. “The grifter that promised to screw us over, is actually screwing us over?” Shocking.

  23. Not mind-boggling how bad he’s screwing them.

    The headline should be “Mind-Boggling how Trump voters are mind-boggled that they are getting screwed.”

  24. No, this does not boggle the mind. You boggle the mind.

  26. He would watch every single one of his voters burn to death in a fire if saving them meant touching a poor person. He think his voters are poor disgusting scum and why any of them support him is beyond me. He hates your guts. He loathes your broke asses. He thinks you are disgusting and beneath him. And you prove him right every day.

  27. TACO – “I will fuck you over.” 

    IDIOTS – “I don’t think he’s going to do that to me.”

  29. And the rest of the Americans are “Mind-Boggled” at how dumb the Trump voters are.

  30. These headlines and reports always surprise me, and make me skeptical. I don’t know a single Trump supporter who has wavered one bit in their support.

  31. I don’t believe it. If they are so upset, they should go protest.

  32. Yeah and they’ll pull the lever for him and his ilk again and again and again as long as they say they’re getting screwed because of minorities.

  34. “Add it all up, Bernstein concludes, and the Trump-GOP lack of concern as their voters learn they’re taking it on the chin is “mind-boggling.””

    I think they’re taking it somewhere else, but that’s beside the point. ATM, Republicans don’t care anymore. They have probably figured that they are finished but are going to do as much damage (in their warped minds, it is “for the good of the country! “) as they can before the circus leaves town. Covid, walking just to hold a Bible upside down, killing an Iranian general, projection as admission (“they rigged the election”), and oh god so much more, we’re all precursors, previews of the big show. He saw what he could get away with last time and tripled down this time. Never having any repercussions for his actions (and even if there were, it was washed away in victimhood) for 80 some years and now having any and all guardrails taken away, he can now truly take all his perceived revenge and outrage out on his enemies (which in his ‘reality’ is anyone and everyone) because he trusts no one other than himself. Anyone that has ever wriponged him in word or deed will feel his vengeance because he has been wronged his whole life re: I’m a billionaire and have been given and grifted anything and everything my whole entire life, never having known any want ever, but still people have never given the respect I have demanded from them.

    All the other victims now have their saint, their savior, they will die on the cross for him. That is truly what is “Mind-Boggling”

  35. Walking down memory lane.

    >How Trump Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations

    >Online donors were guided into weekly recurring contributions. Demands for refunds spiked. Complaints to banks and credit card companies soared. But the money helped keep Donald Trump’s struggling campaign afloat.

    >Stacy Blatt was in hospice care last September listening to Rush Limbaugh’s dire warnings about how badly Donald J. Trump’s campaign needed money when he went online and chipped in everything he could: $500.

    >It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell, for help.

    >What the Blatts soon discovered was $3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days. They called their bank and said they thought they were victims of fraud.

    >“It felt,” Russell said, “like it was a scam.”

    >But what the Blatts believed was duplicity was actually an intentional scheme to boost revenues by the Trump campaign and the for-profit company that processed its online donations, WinRed. Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election. …

    >But for some Trump supporters like Ron Wilson, WinRed is a scam artist. Mr. Wilson, an 87-year-old retiree in Illinois, made a series of small contributions last fall that he thought would add up to about $200; by December, federal records show, WinRed and Mr. Trump’s committees had withdrawn more than 70 separate donations from Mr. Wilson worth roughly $2,300.

    >“Predatory!” Mr. Wilson said of WinRed. Like multiple other donors interviewed, though, he held Mr. Trump himself blameless, telling The Times, [“I’m 100 percent loyal to Donald Trump.”](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/03/us/politics/trump-donations.html)

  36. “Mind boggling” say the people that were explicitly told over and over and over and over again what a second term would mean for the country.

  37. If an election was to be held this month while the events are still fresh in their minds….all his supporters would still vote Republican without hesitation. You cant unfuck a cult mentality

  38. And yet, if the election were today and their choices were this shitstain and a super intelligent, woman of color, they would still vote for the shitstain.

  40. Cause his terrible first term just didn’t tell them anything.

  41. No their not. Only those directly impacted are upset. Those that are not think it’s awesome and full of winning.

    Besides this is Project 2025. Its real sole purpose is eliminate all obstacles to funneling money to the rich and conservatives love such goals.

  42. More prolonged pain is income especially with the big beautiful bill. Red states will suffer.

  43. Lol not they’re not, none of them care, they never will. Stupid click bait headline.

  44. This headline, and other versions of the same, are getting ridiculous. If an election were held tomorrow, they’d vote for him again in a second. There is no mass exodus
