Why are Trump supporters turning against him?
We are hearing from a lot of Trump supporters who are now having their lives destroyed by Trump's policies. Many actually even worked for the federal government and they said they were trying to help the government become more efficient, but Donald Trump fired them and made everything less efficient. I want to give a hat tip. to NBC 10 Philadelphia. Support your local news. Here's a former IRS worker who supported Donald Trump speaking out to NBC 10 Philadelphia after being fired by Donald Trump while working at the IRS. I want you to watch this.
Do you make the Trump administration's actions?
I thought that he was... I did support him. I was a Trump supporter. You know, when he talks about government waste and all that, yes, I'm behind it. I believe there is a lot of stuff in the government that needs fixing. And that's part of the reason why I actually wanted to work for the government, actually, to help change, help change the things that are wrong in the world, you know? Yeah. I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people's lives for no reason.
Right now, this individual, you heard him say that he thought that because Donald Trump's a good businessman, that Donald Trump would go in there with a scalpel and not a chainsaw and fix things. Donald Trump was never a good businessman. We tried to tell you that here over and over again on the Midas Touch Network. He bankrupted his casinos. He bankrupted most of the companies he touched and owned bankruptcy after bankruptcy. and then companies that he lent his name to did horrible, and many of them went out of business. Now, just look at his most recent company. Just take the most recent company, Trump Media, which lost $400 million last year and only earned $3.6 million in revenue. So in terms of that guy in Philadelphia,
You know, a Philly cheesesteak restaurant probably does more revenue than Trump media in a year. I'd be willing to take a bet on that. And Trump lost $400 million last year. And by the way, when you go through Donald Trump's financials, You take a look at it. This is what he filed. This isn't me saying this. This is what Trump filed. There's a section because when you're a public company, you have to list all of your bankruptcies and you have to list all of your businesses that went out of business and failed. It's a requirement if you have a publicly traded company. So here it is, February 14th, 2025. Just take a read at this. I'll show you the screenshot. I'm not going to go through the whole thing now, but it lists Trump Plaza, Trump Hotels and Casinos, TMTG, Chapter 11, Chapter 11, Chapter 11, Bankruptcy. Then it lists all of his businesses that failed right here. This is his filing. Trump shuttles, Trump vodka, Trump mortgages, Trump University, Trump steaks. Just go through it. He failed in everything. All right, back to this guy right here.
Here's the Trump supporter, now former IRS worker. Here he talks about how he got fired and what went down. Here, play this clip.
Tell me what happened today. So, I mean, I went in at my normal time. When I arrived there, everybody was in a very downtrodden mood. And when I went to my computer, you know, everybody was having some technical issues. Like none of our computers were really loading up either the programs that we needed to operate or like teams. My story is the teams. You know, that's kind of how I figured out that we were getting fired today. It was when I went in, I logged into teams and. I sent you the photo of what I saw when I went to log in. And that's when I left my cubicle and I went around to everybody else I work with. I'm like, hey, what's your teams look like? Some were having trouble. Some were able to log in. It was very, very chaotic.
I mean, there was no organization to it at all. And basically, we just sat around for the rest of the day. I mean, talk about government efficiency. We literally sat there and did nothing all day long while we waited for our fate. So again, we got our email saying that we were fired after sitting around all day knowing we were fired.
