Trump voters now blame him for the government shutdown

MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. —Two years ago, Jeff Daudert was fed up with politics. He wanted to shake up the status quo. He didn’t mind sending a message to the establishment — and, frankly, he liked the idea of a disruptive president.

But the 49-year-old retired Navy reservist has had some second thoughts.

“What the [expletive] were we thinking?” he asked the other night inside a Walmart here, in an area of blue-collar suburban Detroit that helped deliver Trump the presidency.

It was hate, and racism, and a general ignorance of how things actually work.

It made the idea of electing incompetent hacks attractive. Those hacks would then infiltrate more idiots for day to day operations.

If you think that the government is no good or inefficient, having idiots run it, won't help.

to resolve the issue on a serious basis, other than to temporarily offer something while still getting his idiotic wall, which won't work anyways.

This whole mess will be another stain on his so called 'I alone, can fix it all' mentality. All it showed me was that he's clearly out of water, and doesn't know what he is doing. Incompetent and failing miserably.
