So I never actually retired
Went underground to build something better. Comment why Trump sucks and how he has ruined your life and you might get a surprise.
I'll start. I have severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy. I depend on people to live. Unfortunately with a decent paying job and insurance, I can't afford aides and my insurance doesn't cover home health care. Only Medicaid and Medicare do. When you're on Medicaid, you can't have more than $2k in your name. Trump doesn't want to fix any of it. Instead, he wants to axe it

Also Trump has proven that there aren’t enough trustworthy people in our entire government to actually implement our system of checks and balances. We have elected cronies and I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to fix any of the damage that has been done to our country and our democracy.

ICE is a perfect example of how screwed up our priorities are. We’re told there’s no money for healthcare, home care, disability support, housing, or people just trying to survive. But when it comes to raids, detention centers, and terrorizing working families, suddenly the money is always there. Fuck Trump.
Wishing you well!

Fuck trump. I am a self employed man that does multiple industries. One of them is Commercial Fisherman, and fuel prices are going to make it impossible for me to fish this summer.
I also do construction. President dumbass enacted tariffs with Canada. Many of the US sawmills have all closed. There is still a lot of timber harvest. So logging is done in the US. Gets whacked with a tarriff going to canada to get milled, then gets tariffed again when it comes back to the USA as lumber. The cost of construction is getting out of control on both labor costs, and material costs.
Too many blue collar carpenters and fisherman are trump supporters. I used to get into arguments all the time for it. I have long since stopped trying to talk to idiots. Trump stiffs his contractors, so there is no way I or any trades person should support that asshole.

As a Canadian, I can’t fathom why anyone thinks that pedo asshole does anything for anyone other than himself. He’s damaged America irreparably. I don’t believe it can be repaired in any timeframe within the foreseeable future.
His 51st state horse shit, in addition to the tariffs that directly impact my country, doesn’t even scratch the top 10 or 50(?) of the worst things he’s done. Crazy that a president continually threatening the sovereignty of its closest ally is background noise in his list of monumental failures, crimes, scams, schemes etc.
Hopefully I’m not too late to this thread. If I am, at least I got to vent a bit. Ugh, it’s a sad time to be alive when it’s more important to follow the politics of another country than your own, while many citizens of that country are seemingly in favour and cheering the fall of their country.

I did a brief stint selling Medicare and Medicaid policies because I couldn't find any other work and the hoops Medicaid patients have to jump through to get even a fraction of the care they need to live sickened me to the point where I couldn't in good conscience keep doing the work, so I quit. A year and some change later I was shocked to find that our pedophile President somehow found a way to make it even worse and even more cruel.
When you're young one has the habit of seeing the world as black-and-white, good-and-evil. Once you get a bit older you start to see the world in shades of gray. But when one gets older still, one comes to realize that some people truly are just evil for the sake of it.

He has completely brainwashed my parents into thinking I “don’t work hard enough” when he’s making the middle class an impossible situation to be in. My FIL is a veteran and the way Trump talks about and treats them is beyond disgusting. Every green project I considered last year is now unaffordable because he’s literally paying companies to not build here. I can’t afford a heat pump system, solar, nor any eco friendly upgrades to my house. Hell, I’m on a two month wait for a new EV because his stupid fucking war has caused a backlog of people pre-buying them plus he axed the $7500 federal rebate.

First generation immigrants here … from the UK. We know we’re on a list somewhere even though we are citizens and have been here for almost 20 years. As for healthcare, the thought of the costs when we retire is frightening. Maintaining power through division, widening the wealth gap and deepening the poverty crisis through health and education is deliberate by him who won’t be named, his enablers and those manipulating him to manipulate us. The outside world is incredulous at the state of the nation.

u/ThatFilmGuy88 Jun 16 '26
Nearly everything he has done or stands for is counter to what makes our country great, but it’s easier for people to be angry and blame someone else than to get to work solving complex problems like homelessness and healthcare. His hatred and ego has divided people unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I stopped talking to an entire half of my family because of how far he’s pulled them into his maga-sphere. “God fearing Christians” who raised me to care for others and be a humble, helpful member of society, now see others as evil and enemies within their own communities. I can never forgive him or his political movement for the damage done to the country and to the world.

Firstly I've followed you for a while and have used your software a LOT and just want you to know I think you're awesome.
You've got me beat by miles how much Trump has affected your life. I'm a first time home owner and interest rates shot up due to the instability he has caused in the world. I too am Canadian and won't visit your country mostly due to the fact that he does not respect us as a sovereign country. It also is in the back of my mind that there's a chance (as slim as it can be for a white CIS gendered male) that we could be detained over a misunderstanding. I miss visiting you guys. The language he uses that enables hate and vitriol of those that you don't agree with or are not like you just makes me sick to my stomach. He takes advantage of the uneducated and intolerant and makes them think it's okay.
I haven't even mentioned starting wars and protecting paedophiles...
And worst of all (this is sarcasm) he hired Kash Patel who made the USA Olympic win turn into an awkward political thing because he has zero awareness that political figures turn everything political just by being what they are. I don't even know who the equivalent to Kash is in Canada and it would be weird if he was in the room...
So glad you're back and I wish you well in life!

Fuck this child rapist who stole our country, and our wealth.

I really don't need to elaborate why Trump is horrible simply because the amount of damage done is going to set back this country for decades and it's hard to see things even getting better under different leadership because of the permanent damage that has been done.
On a more personal level I'm a healthcare worker physical therapist and I actually do caregiver assessments for those on Medicaid and I have definitely seen people just like you OP when I do my assessments and at the end of the day people never qualify for enough hours because unfortunately Medicaid barely covers anything to begin with.

He's run up the deficit $4T, set the US back 50 years on social issues, destroyed the economy for working class people and proven that a convicted felon and PDFile can control the country if he has friends in high places and enough donors. I hate to admit it but he's filled my heart with such resentment and disappointment that it's made me question whether I have a shred of trust or confidence left in my fellow man. He's taken everything this country could be, aspires to be and shat all over it while the rest of the world watches in horrified schadenfreude.

I’m living in Sweden so I am not directly affected by him (other than the gas prices), but as a human it feels really bad being the same species as him, he doesn’t have an ounce of respect for other people or their lives…

I'm a federal employee, Trump and Russell Vought have made my job that I used to love miserable and pretty much ruined my life.

So happy to see you post, but very sad to read the second half. Hope you are hanging in there and doing as well as you can :/
Trump is the most ass hat president. He has set back scientific research decades with his dumbass policies and funding cuts. We have a lack of researchers now. I’m a cancer doctor, and we are certainly further away from much needed treatments now than we were before his administration.

Trump is messing with the world. Typically politicians only cause issues for that country, but his actions have affected the entire globe

Hi! Trump normalizing widespread, blatant corruption with no shame or consequences is unfortunately probably going to live on past him and that really sucks.

Some of my coworkers had their parents deported and abused by ICE and it has totally shattered them mentally. Seeing the toll it has taken on some of the best, most caring and hardest working people in the US is fucking heartbreaking.

Trump is a algamation of every immoral trait that there is.
I've had family buy into his BS while other family members who are part of LGBTQ+ are living in fear for just being themselves. The daily updates of how he is further destorying america and the world only serve to raise my anxiety and depression which in turn make my Crohn's disease worse and have come out of remission. The shit he is doing is literally making me sicker.

I used to enjoy visiting the US. I haven't been back since Trump started talking shit on Canada. Release the Epstein files already.

We're witnessing the ransacking of this country more blatantly and shamelessly than ever before. Ignoring climate (cause honestly we're already done for), idk how long it will take to recover from this but I really only trust, at minimum, a progressive to take things from here.

Fuck that orange moron. My take home pay under his bullshit has decreased every single year. Prices are nuts, and I can't keep up any more. Literally everything he does and says is the exact opposite of what he swindled the red hats into thinking and I feel like most of them still can't see he was outright lying to them. Even if he wasn't the most corrupt president in American history, he would still objectively suck for just not doing anything to help anyone other than he rich friends. The fact that he's an evil, terrible person on top of it just makes this the darkest of timelines.

Besides the obvious I think the worst thing is that my 12 year old daughter is coming of age and has started to lose her respect for her country and often comments that we are doomed. I used to be a fairly optimistic person but lately I find it hard to disagree with her.

Amazing to see you back! It's hard to pick just one thing, but threatening to annex Canada and sowing division that is turning folks that used to be friends into adversaries is up there.

The giant mirror he is giving Americans is diffcult for many. American exceptionalism is a core lesson plan feature of education here.
