AZ Tr__p Supporters Who Did Not Learn from the Last Time he was in Office

This is history and some whining also. But it it is worthwhile to look it over again. I read pieces like this and wonder. What the hell did you think Tr__p was going to do? Furthermore, what was wrong with Kamala Harris to cause you to vote for Tr__p? Tr__p has a history of lining his pockets at the expense of other people. He is very open about what he is going to do. Plus AZ natives do not listen.

Jones was a Trump supporter—but not anymore

The national Republican Party has trotted out the talking point that cuts to Medicaid mean that able-bodied people who refuse to get a job are the only ones out of luck, and that’s misleading.

What’s more, hospital closures affect every person in a community, not just those who are allegedly taking advantage of the system.

Jones voted for Trump in the 2016 election and did not vote for president in the 2020 or 2024 elections, but in 2024 she was confident that Trump’s return to the presidency could mean good things for working families.

“Everyone was kind of pumped up about Trump getting back into office,” Jones said. “I have two friends, one of them’s 85 and the other is 74 and they are hardcore Trump supporters—and my 85-year-old friend is just completely devastated by [Medicaid cuts].”

The cuts to Medicaid and looming hospital closure have made Jones skeptical of the entire Republican party moving forward.

“I used to think [Trump] was for the people, but after this I am 100% sure he is all for ‘the man,’” Jones said. “He is for him and the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer.”

Jones lives on a fixed income of $347 a month, and Trump and Republicans’ bill means families like hers will continue to struggle. Now she has the extra fear that there may be no local hospital when she needs it.

Jones said she views the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” as vindictive against the voters for denying him a second term in 2020.

“I will absolutely vote next election,” she said. “And regardless of who is running against them, I will definitely be voting against [Republicans] because of this.”

“She voted for Trump in 2016. Now, his threat of hospital closures puts her & her grandkids at risk,” Copper Courier
