    “I expected better from you. I really did,” Pigott said, when asked what she would say to Trump if she got the chance. “I expected that you would do what was right and cut waste and fraud and all of those things that you promised us before we elected you in office, but you’re not doing that—you’re creating a disaster and I don’t know what America is gonna look like if this continues.”

    He did exaclty what he said he was going to, why would she expect him to do anything better?

      She expected her job to be safe. The waste and fraud she wanted cut was, you know, that DEI stuff and programs that support those other people. Woops!

      I’ve always thought that most trump supporters just projected what they wanted trump to be on to him and trump never corrected them. Why would he?

      so it’s no surprise to hear these regrets because their false images of him are cracking and they don’t know what to do.
