0.129 - 29.412 Ben Meiselas

Michigan voters are having some serious regrets about picking Donald Trump. Michigan went for Donald Trump in 2024, but a recent focus group by Axios and the group called Engage Us Sago spoke with some of the Trump voters in Michigan who are livid to say the least. Overwhelmingly, the Trump voters in this focus group were pissed off. They said they feel utterly betrayed.

They say that Donald Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the country and their state, and they want their vote back. We'll just show you a little bit from this focus group that was released a short time ago. Let's play it.

A show of fingers. Who approves of what Elon Musk has been doing in the Trump administration? None of you. Who disapproves? All seven of you.

See, he wasn't elected to do anything. Like, I don't understand his position. It's a made-up position that they made, department or whatever. And he's been going through with a sledgehammer, just actually dismantling everything with the approval of Trump. So I'm almost at the point where, did he actually buy the election to do what he wanted to do?

He was president for four years. You knowingly chose to put him back in office, having watched him in office for four years. How can you be surprised? I don't feel like he was this aggressive last time, so I don't think anyone would have voted for him if they expected to see what we're seeing now.

95.405 - 108.172 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

I don't understand the need to piss every other country off. Like, Canada. Like, we love Canada, don't we? Like, I just, my whole life, there's never been a problem with Canada.

108.192 - 129.056 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

I thought he was going to, like, change things with affordability and make things cheaper, but by, like, putting these tariffs in and terrorizing the world, now things are just getting more expensive. Everything I believed was going to happen, I think, is going to go the opposite direction. I feel like a lot of his actions have just been disruptive and creating chaos.

129.256 - 147.061 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

He didn't come out and be real with us and say, hey, I'm going to cut, you know, hundreds of thousands of jobs and you could possibly your bills are going to go up like that wasn't campaign. You voted for Trump in 2024, but you've been very critical of him so far in our conversation. Someone watching this might say, why did you vote for the guy?

147.981 - 168.333 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

Sure. I think what he campaigned with and compared to what he's doing is pretty opposite. Yeah, I just didn't I didn't see this coming. I didn't think he was going to take these these points of views that he's taking. I thought that his first 100 days like he talked about would be so much better than they are. It's a little frantic.
