'Dang, Why didn’t I just pick Kamala?' Trump voters react to president's first month

Some of Donald Trump's voters are expressing regret nearly a month into his second term as president.

The Wall Street Journal followed up with nearly two dozen Trump supporters more than three weeks into his presidency and found that some of them were thrilled by his actions to shake up Washington — while others expressed regret or concern about his cuts to the government workforce and immigration raids.

“When we said safer borders, I thought he was thinking ‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country,’” said Staci White, a 49-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska. “I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places.”

She said she didn’t believe he would actually follow through on some of the more hard-line policies he touted during the campaign.

“Now I’m like: ‘Dang, why didn’t I just pick Kamala?’” she added.

The Journal interviewed two voters who had been longtime Democrats who moved over to Trump after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – now his secretary of health and human services – dropped out of the race.

“I’m thrilled with Trump, and he’s done more in less than a month than most presidents have done in their whole term,” said Todd Winant, a 64-year-old holistic coach from Cornville, Arizona.

Winant praised Trump's talks with Russian president Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine and mass deportations, and he said his "whole nervous system relaxed" when he nominated Kennedy to oversee health and Tulsi Gabbard to lead the intelligence services.

But his fellow Kennedy-to-Trump supporter, Emily Anderson, already regrets her choice.

“I feel so stupid, guilty, regretful — embarrassed is a huge one," said Anderson, of Duluth, Minnesota. "I am absolutely embarrassed that I voted for Trump."

The 30-year-old longtime Democrat had been attracted to Kennedy's “Make America Healthy Again” messaging, but she now calls her Trump vote the “biggest mistake of my life," citing his focus on deportations and "ridiculous" moves like banning paper straws and renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America."

Even the president's fans are uneasy about some of his moves.

“At first glance, ‘oh no,’ you cringe," said Denver resident Gary Dixon, speaking of his demands for sweeping tariffs against Mexico and Canada. "You’re like ‘holy s--t he’s going to start a war.'"

However, the 66-year-old telecommunications contractor said Trump's "steamrolling" of the government isn't sustainable for four years.

“He’s doing 80 miles an hour," Dixon said. "I wouldn’t mind if he went around 55."
