Ray, the New York voter, also said that the president’s tariffs on the assets of other countries have contributed to economic instability.
But other Trump voters praised their tariff policy and gave positive qualifications about the economy. (The interviews were made before the new Trump tariff ads and his administration this week).
Javan Potts, 23, from Ohio, said he sees tariffs as negotiation tactics, saying that they have been effective and blaming the media for increasing alarms by saying that prices would “shoot.”
Rhonda, an employee of the 54 -year -old service station in Illinois, said Trump is “well” in rates and said he has not noticed a change in daily goods prices.
“Despite what they said to start, it seems to be working well,” he said.
Gonzell Turner, a 40 -year -old Maryland resident and a federal employee, said in January that the economy and high prices were the main problems for him in 2024, and praised Trump on those issues.
“I feel he has put him at the top of his list in terms of what he wants to do for the American people. So I feel he has done his part and tries,” said Turner, who also attributed federal layoffs to the billing of the personnel that occurs at the beginning of a new administration.
Trump characteristic problems
Trump’s first six months have also been dominated for their approach in deporting immigrants in the country illegally, which also received mixed criticism from this group of voters.
Potts, from Ohio, said that “we cannot ignore the problem because we want to be empathic” and added that the US. Uu. They need a “better system” for people to come legally.
“If it were to Spain the next day, I would have illegally, it is not just one thing from the United States, it is one thing around the world,” he said.
Rhonda, from Illinois, said he supports the elimination of immigrants in the country illegally, but said he wants Congress to cause a solution for “dreamers”, the young undocumented adults who came to the United States illegally as children.
But Ray, the New York voter who said in January that border security was a main problem for him, said Trump was taking deportations “a step too far” and that the deportation approach had been “very hard.”
Jorge said he has seen immigration and customs compliance agents in his Hispanic community in Florida. He also said that he was recently arrested by an agent of the local law who asked to see his identification.
“I am an American who now has to be afraid,” Jorge said, added that he was not surprised by the approach to deportations given the rhetoric of Trump’s campaign. Even so, he criticized the Administration for not distinguishing between immigrants in the country illegally with a criminal record of those who work and “benefit our society”, a problem that has extended to probe in the Trump immigration agenda.
“It’s disappointing,” said Jorge, then saying Trump: “He believes he can take everyone.”
Most of these voters distrusted the other characteristic Trump achievements of their administration so far: the reduction of taxes and the expenditure measure known as the “Great Beautiful Law.”
Although in general he supported Trump in general, Scott was torn by the bill. It supports an increase in the funds for the application of immigration, but was skeptical of the billions of dollars that could add to the deficit, qualifying the extent to which a “hard pill to swallow”.
Stephen said that while he would have voted for the bill if he were in Congress, he does not like the great bills of expenses because “there are always smuggling things”, pointing out that the immigration policy and there are no taxes on tips in the same bill.
“Both parties group everything into one thing, because they know if they can get enough popular things, so that is how their unpopular s —“, “he said.
Jorge, Janice and Ray also criticized the measure, disagree with spending measures and questions if they feel the benefits.
“This is another of Trump’s policies that said it would, but that has not really reduced the government, reduces taxes on small people,” Ray said. “It is really full of tax cuts and more swelling.”
But even with his concerns, Ray, a registered Democrat, said he would not recover his vote for Trump last year.
“Unfortunately, I would probably vote for Trump waiting for everything to be crashed and the United States will restart,” said Ray, noting that he tends to support candidates who say what they think.
Ray said he supported Zohran Mamdani, a self -written democratic socialist, in the Democratic primaries for the Mayor of New York City earlier this year.
“Like Trump, I don’t agree with all his views,” Ray said about Mamdani. “But it makes the effort to go out and talk to people and communicate with people and try to do things that are better for the working class.”
