I didn't turn on Trump. Trump turned on us. Here are my top 5 facts to back up that claim:
1. The Economy and Cost of Living
Trump repeatedly campaigned on lowering inflation and making life more affordable for everyday Americans. However, these promises frequently collided with economic realities:
Inflation and Cost of Living: Pledges to defeat inflation and reduce the cost of basic goods were largely unmet, with families continuing to face elevated costs for necessities like groceries and energy.
Manufacturing Jobs: Despite promising to bring back millions of manufacturing jobs to the Rust Belt, data has shown significant contractions in the sector, leading to net job losses in manufacturing rather than the promised.
Credit Card Debt: Trump heavily promoted caps on credit card interest rates to provide relief to working families, but this policy failed to materialize, leaving consumers facing record-high interest rates and delinquency levels.
2. Healthcare Reform
A core pillar of earlier campaigns was the immediate repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
Lack of a Replacement: Despite years of promising a "better and less expensive" healthcare plan, no comprehensive alternative was ever successfully passed to prevent millions of Americans from potentially losing their coverage.
Healthcare Costs: Instead of lowering costs, many Americans saw their healthcare premiums and out-of-pocket expenses continue to rise.
3. Government Spending and the "Swamp"
The National Debt: Trump pledged to balance the budget and reduce the national debt, but his administrations have consistently overseen massive spikes in federal deficits, largely driven by tax cuts and increased spending.
"Drain the Swamp": Pledges to rid Washington of corruption, eliminate special-interest influence, and hold administration officials to strict ethical standards were undercut by the appointment of various lobbyists and ongoing ethics controversies.
4. International Relations and Trade Deficits:
Trump promised to aggressively reduce the U.S. trade deficit, yet overall trade deficits with foreign nations, including U.S. allies, have often grown despite the implementation of aggressive tariff policies.
The Mexican Border Wall:
A defining promise was to build a wall on the southern border and have Mexico pay for it, a pledge that did not materialize in the way voters were originally told, with U.S. taxpayers ultimately footing a substantial portion of the bill.
Israel First, America Last:
The "Exception" to Transactional Foreign Policy
Trump famously advocates for an "America First" doctrine that demands foreign allies pay their own way and reciprocate American investments. Yet, Israel remains the sole exception to this rule. Critics, including some within the conservative movement, point out that while Trump demands fiscal restraint and burden-sharing from NATO allies, he has bypassed Congress to expedite billions in unconditional military assistance to Israel.
Escalation of Regional Entanglements
An authentic "America First" policy is traditionally defined as avoiding costly entanglements in foreign conflicts. Opponents argue that Trump’s alignment with Israel—particularly his push to corral Iran—drags the U.S. into active, dangerous conflicts in the Middle East. By prioritizing aggressive, joint military actions against American adversaries in the region, resources and political capital are diverted from domestic American priorities.
Diplomatic Reversals and Regional Stability
Trump has consistently altered decades of established U.S. foreign policy to uniquely benefit Israel's strategic positioning. Moves such as recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, reversing arms embargoes, and pressuring Arab states into normalization deals tied to U.S.-Iran negotiations prioritize specific Israeli territorial and security goals. This approach, detractors argue, isolates the United States from international consensus and deepens long-term animosity toward the U.S. in the broader Arab world.
Domestic Political & Economic Concessions
Critics argue that Trump’s Israel policy dictates domestic U.S. governance. Opposition groups have heavily criticized measures that condition federal disaster relief in American states on whether local governments boycott Israeli companies. From this perspective, leveraging critical infrastructure and domestic support at home to enforce political alignment with a foreign government stands as definitive proof that Israeli interests are being placed ahead of American domestic needs.

BREAKING: Israeli officials are now privately urging the Trump administration to completely abandon Iran negotiations, assassinate Iran's lead negotiator Ghalibaf, and immediately restart strikes targeting Iran's oil and energy infrastructure to trigger "regime change" in Tehran, while not caring about the massive impact of the expected Iranian retaliation on Gulf energy infrastructure, per a classified US intelligence assessment.
Trump has already privately been backing away from the deal since Sunday under "extreme internal pressure from Israel and its US domestic allies," urging him not to accept Iran's terms, per sources close to his negotiation team.
Based on this, an Iranian official is saying Iran has absolute "zero trust" in Trump and the US word in any agreement, adding it "cannot regard Trump's decision as definitively finalized until the financial markets close at the end of this week," with the concern Trump will formally end the deal and restart strikes at the last moment.

This is massive
Iran reportedly will receive $300 billion from Trump under a proposed investment.
Trump lost all U.S. bases in the Middle East and lost control of the Strait of Hormuz because of the war.And on top of that, he will pay $300 billion too.
What a massive loss for Trump.
The Trump administration tried to outmaneuver Iran for Israel’s benefit, but Iran outplayed them. “6D chess” again

Trump wil zelf podium pakken na afzeggen artiesten bij onafhankelijkheidsfeest
De artiesten vrezen dat ze worden gebruikt om de populariteit van president Trump op te krikken.

“Ook voorspelde Trump dat hij een groter publiek zou trekken dan alle artiesten die niet meer willen meedoen.
"In feite ben ik, volgens velen, de Nummer Een Attractie Wereldwijd", schreef hij op zijn platform Truth Social.
Trump voegde eraan toe dat hij "een veel groter publiek" trekt "dan Elvis op zijn hoogtepunt" en dat "zonder gitaar".”
