In reply to the discussion: 80 %+ of the trucking industry voted for Trump, but they will also be among the first victims of the trade war. [View all]MarineCombatEngineer
(18,163 posts)34. A lot of them thought that Been A Dick Donald was actually going to make the economy better,
despite the fact that we HAD a booming economy, why the hell they thought that is what baffles me, but now their eyes are being peeled wide open and they're starting to regret their vote, they may still not trust Democrats, but they realize that they were bamboozled by a criminal con man and his criminal org.
I've been talking to a lot of them, and another contention is the unlawful immigration crack down and the lack of due process and accountability and the grave danger that he has placed this nations national security in.
Hopefully, they'll vote to rein in this lunatic by electing Dems in the mid terms, some have said they will, but the proof is in the pudding, so, we'll see.
