Trump is losing support<\/a> with his own voters over his government shutdown. Trump\u2019s voters think the Trump Shutdown is \u201cridiculous.\u201d They are \u201csick\u201d of his border wall. And they now regret voting for Trump, asking \u201cWhat the [expletive] were we thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Trump voters had to say about his shutdown:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the [expletive] were we thinking?\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s silly. It\u2019s destructive.\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe wall is getting out of hand. It\u2019s too much. It\u2019s ridiculous. I\u2019m sick of seeing it, I\u2019m sick of hearing about it.\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI was doing fine with him up until this government shutdown. It\u2019s ridiculous. You\u2019re not getting the wall built for $5 billion. And Mexico is not paying for it, we all know that, too. Meanwhile, it\u2019s starting to turn people like me away.\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSomething miraculous has to happen for me to vote for him again.\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThat vote that I cast, shot myself in my own foot. But yeah, he’s staying to his promise, at the detriment to everybody else in the country. I mean — they expect us to come to work and work for nothing. What job forces their employees to work for nothing?\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI supported this man and I supported his ideas and I don’t support the other side, but I cannot deal with what’s happening to our country. If this keeps up, it’s going to destroy us.\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been the breaking point. He\u2019s saying the government workers are OK with this? I haven\u2019t met one who say they are OK with it, and I know plenty that voted for him.\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all scrounging. Everybody\u2019s talking about how they\u2019re going to pay their next rent, how they\u2019re going to pay their next mortgage bill.\u201d – Trump voter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
