A series of NBC News/Enagagious/Sago focus groups of 50 Black, Latino, and young voters who voted for convicted felon President Trump in 2024 – including some who broke for Dems in Virginia and New Jersey last month – found that most still largely support the Orange Tyrant but that many are also questioning why his lies about making them rich and successful haven’t panned out.
Or not really questioning it. “I think he has a grand master plan that most of us probably don’t understand,” said 44 year-old Georgia voter Rozlyn C back in a June session, adding, “I have faith that he, a hundred percent, has the best interest of our country at heart,” lol.
It’s not clear if the grand master plan has been revealed to her since then. Three months earlier, Dorris S, 56 said she’d expected Donald “to be aggressive in a lot of different areas and he’s doing exactly that – being aggressive in a lot of different areas of focus that concern the US citizens. Every few days you’re hearing something different and you’re constantly seeing him at work, working, getting stuff done.” Dorris did not name any of that “stuff” Trump had been doing at the time.
Those were the “positive” quotes, dating back to the first half of the year. By December, 39-year-old Virginian Justin K was frustrated that Trump had “been focused on prosecuting his political enemies, pardoning people,” adding “I don’t even think that there’s much a president can do on inflation, but I think that this was a kind of situation where he just said it to get elected.” Really? You think that now, a year after you voted to return him to power? That just dawned on you recently, bro?
