“…dropping the ball isn’t an option.” Again, this presupposes that Trump’s version of victory is the correct version-despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. And as I’ve said to you many times, Trump isn’t playing 63D chess. The war in Iran is one example of many (Trump: “no one thought Iran would respond like this.” Even though literally EVERYONE said they would). Trump has made so made atrociously bad decisions that it almost looks like self-sabotage. Trump is obviously too narcissistic to self-sabotage so the only other plausible reason is that he’s floundering.

I voted for Donald Trump because, at the time, he felt like the lesser of two options I didn’t trust. I didn’t want to see Joe Biden or Kamala Harris continue what I believed was a system full of corruption, mismanagement, and constant tension. Trump’s message was simple: No new wars. End existing conflicts. Put America first. That was the foundation of my support. But looking at things now, I’m struggling to square those promises with what’s actually happening. We’re seeing conflicts intensify instead of cool down. Billions continue to flow overseas in aid and military support to places like Ukraine and Israel. And at home? People are still dealing with rising grocery bills. Veterans are still without stable housing. Families are still buried in debt and uncertainty. So I keep asking the same question: Where does America First fit into all of this? I didn’t vote for deeper global involvement. I voted for stability at home. I voted for relief, not expansion. And honestly, that’s where my frustration comes from. Not anger for the sake of it—but disappointment in what’s changed, and the gap between what was promised and what feels real on the ground today. I’m not sure how many others feel the same, but it’s getting harder to ignore that gap.
