(49,001 posts)Mind you, tRump has said just about all three sides of every issue and promise, but in the main he promised drastic immigration measures, drastic budget cuts, repeal of ObamaCare and drastic deregulation.
So when those budget cuts and elimination of key regulations hits the tRump supporters, they knew it was coming. Or could have figured it out.
They also knew they were going to lose their healthcare. Or could have figured it out. Repeal of ObamaCare was explicitly promised and they explicitly voted for it.
Two things that are going to hit them hard are tax increases to the middle class (to pay for defense and millionaire tax cuts) and the coming Trump Slump in the economy when the immigration and trade downturns start to bite. tRump has ridiculously rosy expectations for the economy.
