Follow-up interviews with Trump supporters one year later reveal a souring on the administration's policies — and not for just one reason. "Inflation, immigration, and Epstein are all in the mix, but there's a giant mosaic of disappointments," reports Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell, while reviewing voters' comments in a Saturday podcast. If you were a Trump voter in 2024, are you disappointed with his performance and behavior after his first year in office?

Two Trump voters responded: "I would like to know when the last time anybody in Congress or anybody up in the realm there bought a loaf of bread," ranted one former Trump voter. "I mean, they all talk about economies getting better, but even just a loaf of bread, it's really not affordable anymore." "I see more people coming through the pantry lines than ever before, and every month it's new people, so it just tells me that there's greater need," said another. "The economy is not good. The job market's not good. The cost of living is sky high. It's really hard to make ends meet for people and that just kind of overshadows everything else. And you couple that with healthcare costs and insurance costs and things like that, and people just can't get ahead." Do you agree with these two Trump voters?

A third Trump supporter complained that Trump "backtracked on" everything he promised during his campaign. "They were his promises, and he's changed up. And now It's getting worse by the day, honestly," he said. Yet another disgruntled Trump voter complained that the way Trump talks to people with whom he doesn't agree is "just horrible." "It's probably the worst of any of our presidents we've dealt with," said the respondent. "I feel like the longer he's in office, the more we're going to plummet to not being a good community or quality country at all, period." Do you agree with these Trump voters' opinions about Trump?

Other Trump voters were infuriated by Trump's renewed sense of secrecy over the release of the federal investigative files of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. One Trump supporter accidently called the Epstein files the "Trump files," and remained convinced there was something in them that Trump was hiding. Yet another complained that Trump misleadingly framed himself as the "no more b------" president during his campaign. Does it surprise you that some Trump supporters are now complaining that Trump is getting 'worse by the day'?
