If Trump passes off "hands off demonstrators" as just sheeple, he's delusional. He has said it in the past about other street protests. I was at our local small town Fraser, Colorado's "hands off" protests 4/5/2025 and I have noted that most were over 60 years old. I am not surprised since social security service and 401K's were the hot topics of the immediately preceding week. Trump has to blame someone to explain why this is happening to his local followers and came up with a goodie that basically claimed most were just sheeple. Trump is delusional to think all of those demonstrators turning up at Hands Off rallies were just sheeple. Those are real pissed off voters turning up..No one voted for chainsaw destruction of government services (they were ok with doing away with waste, fraud and abuse, but not doing away with government services or whole departments), They did vote for lower grocery prices, which Trump now laughs at. They did not vote for crashing the economy and their 401 Ks, which Trump only says it is "temporary.", with promises that somehow business will immediately bring industry back to America (though it takes years to invest and build new factories to deliver, if they can, lower costs consumer goods). They did vote for lower interest rates, which Trump's tariffs will instead increase inflation, so interest rates are not going down now or likely in the future, as Walmart and Target increase prices on the products they import (much of what they sell) . Even Wall Street is forecasting a 60% chance of a recession within the year. Anyone vote for that? No one voted to cut out scientific research on diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's, which he just did. People were promised by Trump that social security would not be touched, which is now being sabotaged by chainsaw Musk, who just kneecaps the ability to deliver what those who paid into it expect. People did not vote to take away food banks for the hungry or free lunches for their kids. 48% of the voters in the last election did not vote for Trump to do any of these. They, however, are left to say "told you so". So add them to the ones who were taken for a ride with Trump's soaring oratory. Need I go on? How does he think he is getting away with this? Because he never intends to face the voters again, and he has immunity from being prosecuted for crimes (thanks to the Supreme Court). He got the vote he needed to win...and now he is unchained from any responsibility to adhere to the law and be influenced by opinion polls.
