In Video: Trump voters weigh in on the president’s first six weeks
Trump Supporters in Wisconsin Weigh In on the President’s First Six Weeks in Office
As the inaugural six weeks of President Trump’s second term come to a close, voters in key swing states like Wisconsin are still getting used to the whirlwind pace of his administration. Despite initial reservations and concerns, some Trump supporters are settling into a new normal, while others remain anxious about the future.
For 28-year-old Zack Lindsay, who voted for President Trump in 2020, the early days of the Biden presidency left him feeling "embarrassed" and "unhappy." "I’m not really too happy with what’s going on," he said, lamenting the political landscape. However, Lindsay has since come to stand by his original choice, citing recent actions by the President. "He’s keeping most of the promises he said he’d keep. He’s already doing what he said he was going to do."
Real estate agent and former Mayor Jeff Skea shares Lindsay’s optimism, expressing excitement about border security and the administration’s defense policy. "I love what they’re doing with border security, and I’m really happy to see that we’re no longer funding Ukraine," he said.
For some, like Trump supporter Lori Glik, the pace of the administration’s policies has raised concerns. "I don’t want to have to regret voting for him later on because he jumped into something too fast," she said. Financial adviser Chip Schneider echoed these sentiments, expressing worry about the potential impact of tariffs on prices. "I want to hear his plan for tariffs. I’m willing to suffer a little bit of pain, but there’s definitely a time with it."
Even among those who did not vote for Trump, some are finding common ground with the administration’s tougher immigration policies. "It’s an interesting dynamic," said political analyst Lester, observing that support for the President’s stance on immigration has swelled in swing states like Wisconsin.
As the nation continues to navigate the uncertainties of the Trump presidency, one thing is clear: opinions are as divided as ever. While some are already reaping the benefits of the President’s decisions, others are waiting with bated breath for the next move. Regardless, one thing is certain: the American public will continue to scrutinize each decision, weighing its impact on the country’s future.
