“I expected better from you. I really did,” Pigott said, when asked what she would say to Trump if she got the chance. “I expected that you would do what was right and cut waste and fraud and all of those things that you promised us before we elected you in office, but you’re not doing that—you’re creating a disaster and I don’t know what America is gonna look like if this continues.”
He did exaclty what he said he was going to, why would she expect him to do anything better?
- Exactly how dumb are his supporters? Seriously who in their right mind thinks a billionaire will support the working class? Billionaires are the reason the working class is suffering...
  Billionaires only care about wealth and power... nothing else
  
  They’re certainly dumb, but also billions of dollars was funneled into social media and other efforts to ensure they believed they were doing the right thing. Both by Russia and all the think tanks of the heritage project and the like. They’ve been fucked by corporations/the wealthy since they were born, like most, but they were convinced by the corporations, by the oligarchy, by Russia, that the problem was immigrants, minorities, socialists, communists, and anyone who ever said maybe they should think in a different way. Capitalism empowered where we are and Russia took advantage, fanning the right wing flames
  
  Exactly how dumb are his supporters?
  The answer is yes.
- She expected her job to be safe. The waste and fraud she wanted cut was, you know, that DEI stuff and programs that support those other people. Woops!
- I've always thought that most trump supporters just projected what they wanted trump to be on to him and trump never corrected them. Why would he?
  so it's no surprise to hear these regrets because their false images of him are cracking and they don't know what to do.
- Skill issue, was likely overemployed all things considered. Question the qualifications or anyone who would say this.
