'He's not the same person': Voters crucial to Trump's win share dismay after 4 months

The bloc of Donald Trump voters that was vital to getting him over the election line in first place last November were asked just four months after his inauguration for their reactions.

Their answer was far from exuberant. “Ummmm,” said one.

The independent voters — a crucial group of voters that effectively decided the general election — were revisited by the Washington Post.

“Economically, he’s not the same person,” said Lisa Kirk, who feared “I might lose it all” as she saw her 401K tank as Trump’s business tariff threats took hold.

The conclusion the Post reached after talking to multiple voters was that they “are starting to sour on Trump and his disruptive agenda.”

In January, polls showed independents disapproved of Trump by just a tiny percentage. Now, it’s 25% among the same group.

“The sinking job approval among independent voters suggests Trump is not immune to political consequences as he tears up global trade, slashes the federal government, and challenges the country’s system of checks and balances,” The Post wrote.

“Trump’s improvement with long-skeptical independent voters helped him win last fall, and their growing disapproval — if it holds — could hurt Republicans in the midterms.”

Another voter, Ranger Kling, 19, backed Trump despite considering himself a Democrat. He thought that party’s candidate, Kamala Harris, leaned too far left and Trump was better economically.

Now he’s not so sure, calling massive cuts swept in by the Department of Government Efficiency “a waste of time,” and being turned off by some of the White House’s cultural moves — particularly on transgender rights.

Trump’s attacks on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have particularly irked him. “I think it was messed up,” he told the Post.

He’s also not impressed with Trump’s partnering with “weird guy” Elon Musk.

But, he concluded, he’s not that surprised — and not sure he made a mistake with his vote.

“Crazy people crazy,” he said.

Faye Tietz, 75, voted for Trump because of rising prices. Now she sees him focused on nonsense.

“He wants to buy Greenland. What for?” she said. “He wants the Panama Canal. What for?”

If she had a do-over, she said, the Democrats would tempt her.

“Just not to have Trump in there again,” she concluded.
