  • The posts cite a mix of grievances — Trump’s reported links to Epstein case files, tax spending, immigration policy, Endangered Species Act treatment and rising gas prices — as reasons for their disillusionment.
  • One voter called Trump, 80, their “biggest disappointment,” while another said family dinners had turned awkward as relatives also expressed regret.
  • A separate complaint targeted Trump’s promise of $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms, with one supporter portraying it as an attempt to buy votes.
  • The viral backlash lands as Trump’s approval rating is described as hitting record lows for his presidency, suggesting frustration is surfacing even among loyal supporters.
