Earlier today, Donald Trump made every single one of his die hard supporters regret voting for him as they were forced to helplessly watch their president cave to the Democrats and reopen the government, all without any funding for his racist border wall. Trump had made so many promises to them during his campaign, with the border wall being one of the biggest – and right in front of their eyes, he took it away. Now, conservatives across the country are speaking out on Trump’s latest betrayal to his fanbase, and things really aren’t looking good for 2020.
Trump has stated that he’s going to temporarily reopen the government without his wall being funded. He’s insisted that discussions for the wall will continue, but considering how Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi already has Trump wrapped around her finger, no one has any hope for that.
Republican reporter Eliza Collins perfectly summed up how badly Trump has screwed himself over and betrayed his fans in an interview with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin. In the segment, Baldwin asked Collins:
Right now as everyone’s reacting to this, right-wing media is going off over this. How will the Sean Hannity’s of the world defend Trump on this?”
Collins perfectly explained how Trump had “stabbed the base in the heart”, suggesting that a second term in 2020 was likely not going to happen. She said:
I don’t know if they can. On my way over here I was texting with a conservative who was close to the White House and he said that this ‘stabbed the base in the heart.’ This was Trump’s biggest promise to the base. They really wanted it and he’s completely failed to do that and he failed to do it to Nancy Pelosi.”
