Summary

Consumer confidence has declined since Donald Trump’s return to office, with the University of Michigan reporting a drop in sentiment and rising inflation concerns.

Many Trump voters are frustrated by market turbulence and sweeping executive orders. Voter Paul Bisson fears economic instability, saying, “That’s not what we signed up for.”

Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.

Polls indicate growing anxiety, with some supporters questioning Trump’s policies and their long-term economic impact.

      Not even. There are even people in immigrant families that voted for him because “he’s only going to deport the bad ones” and then [surprised Pikachu] a bunch of their own family get deported

      There’s stupid, and there’s zealotism, but stupid zealots are the worst

        Friend of mine is Mexican living in Texas and voted for him because he thought it would help him get a job. I didn’t ask for more of an explanation but that is the kind of shit we are dealing with.
