Una persona que se describe como votante de Trump en tres ocasiones publicó en X que está molesta por las políticas del presidente Donald Trump, aunque también se negó a decir que votó mal en la elección de 2024.

"I say this as a 3-time Trump voter, a lifelong Republican who spent an embarrassing amount of money on merch and travel to Trump rallies and DC," Lucy Riles escribió en X. "I was duped. The past 14 months have been betrayal after betrayal. It sucks admitting I got it wrong. No, I’m not saying Kamala [Harris] would have been better. But Trump is a politician, a glorified snake oil salesman. He is not God nor should he be worshiped as one. And we need to hold our politicians accountable. Especially the ones we voted for and sacrificed friendships, jobs and family over."

Riles añadió, "Trump is now attempting to bully his base into supporting another reckless foreign war, ignore the Epstein files and now, accept data centers or else you want to be 'backwards and poor.' I’ve never been in an emotionally abusive relationship[,] and I’m not about to start now."

Concluyó: "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

La publicación apareció en medio de una serie de quejas recientes, registradas en cámara, de otros votantes de Trump a MS NOW, lo que sugiere que la frustración dentro de parte de la base del presidente no se ha limitado a una sola publicación en redes sociales. A principios de agosto, otro votante de Trump en tres ocasiones dijo que, aunque el presidente prometió reducir la inflación una vez en el cargo, "the prices haven't gone down. I don't know, I'm just, I'm over it, I think, over the Trump thing, the Trump wagon — whatever you want to call it."

Otro votante de Trump dijo: "It's hard. It makes me feel like I'm a horrible mother sometimes because I'm stressing about what I'm going to do — do I have enough money to put gas in, or do I need to buy eggs and milk for my child? Or do I need to not go to work every day to make that money because gas prices are so expensive?"

Ese votante continuó: "And mind you, it could be my fault — I do work in cleaning, but still, that's a 45-minute drive. We're putting 80 bucks in every three days, tops, maybe. It's just hard to feel good when everything's going downhill, I feel like. It's supposed to be going up, and sometimes, yes, it is up, and then all of a sudden it just goes down. And then we're always told, you know, ‘this is going to change’ or ‘I'm going to make this better’ or ‘we're going to make this better’ — but where's it at? We're not seeing it at all."

También a principios de agosto, un votante de Trump de Iowa llamado Stephen Foot le dijo a MS NOW que "the prices haven't gone down. I don't know, I'm just, I'm over it, I think, over the Trump thing, the Trump wagon — whatever you want to call it."

Otro votante de Trump declaró a principios de agosto, en referencia a la guerra en Irán, "Enough! Bring our guys and girls home. I don't want to see it — I don't like seeing war, that's all. We need to protect our borders and keep our family here safe."

Más recientemente, y también el lunes, la excongresista de MAGA Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) acusó a Trump de "disloyalty" hacia su propia base.

"I hear this from people literally every single day," Greene publicó en X. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying this and demanding your elected leaders deliver exactly what they promised you when you voted, donated, and supported them. The disloyalty comes from Trump, not people like this."
