“He is a fraud. He is a con man.”
“ Hello, my name is Shawn. I currently live in Oregon. I voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, and in 2024 I will be voting for Kamala Harris. In 2016, I voted for Donald Trump because I wanted a change in our government. I wanted responsibility to be passed on to our representatives.
“I thought Donald Trump was going to be the person to do that. After just a few years of that presidency, we realized that he did exactly what he did to everyone else to get to that point. And that’s to be a con man and become a snake oil salesman. I don’t think he’s a trustworthy person. I believe that he’ll tell you whatever you want to hear at that time, and do whatever he wants to do that’s best for him and his family afterwards.
“He is not here for the good of the country, and I think he’s definitely going to destroy us if he’s voted in for his second election. I think Donald Trump on the economic side is a fraud. He’s a con man. If you look at everything he’s done with Trump Enterprises, he has taken advantage of everyone he’s worked with and used those things to help try to grow his business.
“If you want something to someone to take advantage of you as a country, just to help grow his side of it, he’s someone that you should be voting for. I mean, look at how he handled Deutsche Bank. Look at everything else he’s worked with, and how he’s handled the country in the last four years that he had it.
“So if he does become president and he starts taking this rhetoric — like he’s been doing over the last 15 years now as he has tried to be in the spotlight — other people will take that and run with it. And as he showed on January 6th, he has a whole mass of people that will do whatever he wants them to do. And then he’ll stand by and say, “It wasn’t me, it was all you guys. You’re the bad people.”
“JD Vance, he’s honestly the pick that people scratch their head about. And on Trump’s side, I understand that he thinks that this guy — because he hated him, and now he has just flipped his words — that people that hated him previously are gonna like him. But he’s an idiot.
“So I can’t see him knowing anything or being qualified in any way to run in this position. And if something happened to Trump during election, do you trust this man running your country? He’s an idiot. I understand where he is coming from, in that rural Appalachian people feel like they’ve been left behind there, because that’s a hundred percent true.
“But Donald Trump is not a person that’s gonna save those people, although some of them may think he is. He’s not here to help you. I think a lot of the way the Republican Party’s been moving in the last 10 years is, the people with the loudest voices are the ones getting the funding from the party.
“They’re the ones being propped up on this pedestal, and the people with the loudest voices aren’t always the best people to run the country. I’m more of a centrist as a Republican. I’m definitely strong on being fiscally conservative and controlling our government spending, but I also believe people should have the ability to choose what they want to do.
“I think this very loud, obnoxious group of Republicans that are pushing that far right side is a problem in the U.S., And it’s happening on both sides, to be very honest. But I’m part of the Republican Party and I wanna fix us because I think whoever gets to the center first is going to start winning more often.”
