During his campaign, Donald Trump promised that the nation would win so much, we would “get tired of winning.” But in Terre Haute, Indiana, where Trump made that promise, nobody is suffering winning fatigue yet.
Viggo County voted heavily for him—and for the last century, this one county has voted in line with the winning President.
“Winning? I don’t get a sense that we are winning,” said Bart Colwell, the president of the Terre Haute Savings Bank. “I think his tone is pretty negative. His tone would not be a tone that most people in leadership would use.”
Many of Trump voters are tired of his combative attitude. “He can’t keep his mouth shut,” said Jim Hunter, an insurance agent who voted for Mr. Trump. “He is berating his own party. He needs every Republican vote on taxes. I wish that Twitter stuff would all just stop. I don’t even like to see him on TV.” He added, “I would have serious reservations about voting for him again.”
And while Donny is picking fights, he certainly isn’t winning much. “Tell me what he’s won,” said Bob Murray, a retired accountant. “He won on the Supreme Court nominee, but he hasn’t won on anything else.”
New York Times reports:
“Its economy is struggling. City finances are a mess. Markers of misery — lower family income, higher rates of smoking and obesity, surging opioid use — are many.”
Despite having “benefited from government programs, like disability payments and a stimulus grant under the Barack Obama administration that delivered a flood control project,” the voters “rail against Washington.”
It’s hard to believe that people actually exist who are so stupid and gullible that they actually believed a word Trump said!
I’m in a state of utter amazement at this every day. And to think they still hang on. I never knew so many were so stupid.
Right.
This guy Trump lies at least 100 times a day for anyone ele that would be an exaggeration, but for him this is plausible. He does not know what he is doing. If this was any other job he would be fired. Get out and dont come back
Brian you are so right. Low information silent majority..I wonder if they got what they wanted. Wait until they get that increased insurance premium. Tks 45 my husbands insurance is now 650.00 per mo. Up from 400.00 Sad.
and all drump and his administration had to do was cap big pharma, and continue to pay insurance companies with our tax money.
The pharmaceutical companies are certainly profiting with the so called opiate problem (last year 18,000 died due prescription opiate abuse but 15,000 died last year also by over the counter anti-inflammatory medication like Mortin.) In fact, Narcan which is used to counter a overdose from opiates use to cost local fire dept or police dept about $500.00 a dose just a year ago is now cost about $2000.00 a dose. Narcan has been around for over 50 years and use to cost about $30.00 until this so called opiate abuse was exaggerated to the point that the government has you thinking that you take one opiate pill because you have a broken leg that you will end up being an addict. Meanwhile chronic pain patients who have severe pain are being denied literally the right to life because their pain has gotten so bad that their only escape is suicide. Suicides have gone up 30% for chronic pain patients but of course there’s no talk about that either. Also many chronic pain patient who where working because they were on medication that allowed to function are now unable to work and will end up on SS disability. Meanwhile the more the government cracks down from letting pratice medicine the rate of death go up. It make you feel like they are doing this just to get rid of us.
I have no use for him or them for that matter. America will get what she deserves for letting this happen. AND I see nothing is being done to stop Putin next time either.
Believe it.ESPECIALLY the genius bible thumping morons in Indiana.
I believed him, I believed him when he said he would make America great again. That one phrase sold me. We were unaware he’s a professional con-artist, he wouldn’t be a multimillionaire if he wasn’t. He was believable, we all wanted to believe him and a lot of us still want him to do good on his promises. None of us are “STUPID” we wanted to see America become better. A lot of us are beginning to see what he’s really about. I’m bummed because he’s established himself as a liar, as someone we cannot trust, he’s perpetuating violence and discord. He is literally splitting our country. He’s abolished climate change and to top that off he’s letting Betsy DeVos destroy our educational system for the disabled and poor and the list goes on. Personally I made a mistake, he was the best candidate at the time.
I’m a post production editor and was involved in an investigative documentary. I used to work for Tom Hayden and back in 2010 Obama changed a bill, pissed off a lot of DNCers.
Seth Rich, John Ashe, Victor Thorn, Shawn Lucas and Tom Haden decided to do an investigative documentary into Clinton and the Obama administration – There’s a lot more to this story such as when John C. Stevens was interviewed…
Seth Rich, John Ashe, Victor Thorn, Shawn Lucas and Tom Haden all mysteriously died back in 2016 – HillaryClinton is evil and should not be allowed EVER in office, not ever!!
Have another shot of vodka Boris!
Children should be seen, but not heard!
….and just wait til he’s done with you! There was plenty of warning.. you voted for the CROOK, now deal with it like the rest of us will have to…Hill didn’t have nothing on this POS…donnie has filled his swamp with every bit of slime the good Lord ever allowed on this earth…
You still on Hillary? and you not concerned about today???? What you thought is: He was just going to kill all non-whites…but hahahahaha. you screwed too. President Obama is not the President anymore…MOVE ON!!!!!
We were upset bc of Obama, he removed the cap on congressional donations while in office. His plan was that Hillary would become our next president and reap the monetary benefits from congressional donations. But in reality what Obama did was open the presidency up to big business.
How did a big businessman win. he used deceit, money, bribery at the highest levels, he’s a professional con-artist like most big business men are, it is simple as that.
I don’t trust Hilary, there’s a 15 minute interview with John C. Stevens months before he went to Benghazi, he said in the interview he had loose lips and that Clinton would probably kill him once the interview aired.
So you think Trump is better? I know one thing she did not cheat and collude with Russia so your comment are nothing but guesses. Also Steven’s have been a very close family friends for years. You also missed about how funding for security was cut and whole lot of other issues. While Clinton is going to do everything possible (and some may question legal she has never been found quilts of anything). I also know that the Clinton would not profit directly everytime they go to a property they own like Trump does. Secret Service has to pay full cost to stay in rooms at his resort to protect him. Crap Trump even charges $1000.00’s for the SS to rent golf carts so they can follow him along the golf course while he cheats. Clinton also would not have picked cabinet members that are not quilfied and / or hate the organzation they are suppose to be leading. She also would not have had Russian diplomats in the Oval Office and then tell them secrets that she got from Israel. Their have been plenty of Russians who have died that have had ties to the Russian investigation. I also know she would never have shifted on are allies like Trump has either.
Presidents don’t determine limits on political campaigns. The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United unleashed big money in politics. Look it up. But then, if you believe Hillary Clinton was involved in murders, you’re unlikely to be swayed by facts.
“A lot of us are beginning to see what he’s really about. ”
It was right there in front of you all along. MOST of us who voted knew what he was really about.
I served 22 years, from Vietnam, to Germany working intelligence collection aimed against the Soviets and China. I served with 1st Armored Division in Iraq during Desert Storm. Before the election I warned that Trump was a dagerous man. A conman. It was all there in his history. He is dismantling the safety systems that had been put in place by the democratic party. Always vote for the progressive party for the better care of the population. We are screwed for several years at least. Possibly many more.
He has been in the public eye for 30 years.. everyone with any intelligence has known him for this long or more…did people actually discover him during the election? Wow..living under rocks..
The last paragraph should be checked on Snopes.
Bill, people told me they picked the lesser of two evils. Either way it’s still evil. At least with hillary you knew what she was about. Unless you read up on Trump, you followed a Pied Piper right into the sewer. Bill, if you’d have read up on him would you have still voted for him? I mean, the info has been out there. Educatiin is a wonderful thing. You don’t just buy a car without knowing the specs. Althiugh this is a much more serious decision to have made. You know who not to vote for in your upcoming elections.
do you have proof that Hillary was involved with any of what you mentioned or is that what you’re was of justifying why you voted for Trump. If you did so much digging on Hillary, why not Trump?
It’s not so much what they believed, but what they needed to hear at the time. Clinton didn’t offer them anything but what they’ve already been getting for several decades. They voted for him because he was something new. I’m not talking about his hard core supporters but the average voters that helped him win. Like these people here, they needed help and are just now realizing that Trump is not going to deliver. We need to offer them more than an “I told you so”
Actually most were not hearing Clinton because people where centered on the obnoxious things Trump said along with his empty promises. Clinton speeches were rarely on TV except for MSNBC but with Trump almost every rally was talked about in the media. Trump had not one plan to fix anything except to add more money into his pocket.. Q. How you deal with ISIS? Trump “We have the best Generals, the greatest Generals in the world. Q.How are going get more jobs? Trump ” We will kick all the illegal immigrants out and build the wall. We will have so many jobs everybody will get a job.” REALITY of Trump statement. I have no clue how to deal with ISIS but if I tell everyone I am such a winner because I am rich and say they will be winners too if they pick me and say it enough time stupid people will believe it. Trump only had unfounded promises. Sanders had promises but would have never gotten though with the current Congress and Senate (Sanders seems to only get bills passed into law when it deals with naming post offices in his state. Their has not been much talk if Russia may have influenced local elections either but they did give money to certain Republicans like Mitch McConnell. Which is one of the main reasons why they have not gotten Trump out and put Pence in. The Republicans job would be so much easier with Pence but still try to defect and stop the investigation. With Trump rhetoric is basically splitting the party and both are losing support among Republicans you have to ask why do they still protect him. The last poll Trump Republican support was at the same poll level Nixon was when he resigned. His numbers keep on going down. When healthcare prices go sky high for everyone but especially those with pre-existing conditions you will see those numbers go down even more.
Trump’s Irish. He kissed the Blarney Stone and bullshit has spewed from his mouth ever since. The rubes eat it up.
Trump is the King of grifters with the gift of gab.
Trump voters will suffer the most
They must not have talked to Texan GOP folks. They love him to pieces still. Can’ fix that. Lost cause.
I think most of his supporters feel this way! I think we’re moving towards an Autocracy!
I am not surprised at anything these people believe. I came from that crazy environment where the most important thing is a Church on every corner. It seems the evangelicals will believe and support anything the liar in the white house tweets. They may wait til hel freezes over for the liar in the white house to do anything but help himself..
FAKE CHRISTIANS…FAKE PRESIDENT….
Trump is a bankrupt liar who has no business in our White House!
He has no business on the planet
It’s just like “NIXON” A few months from now you won’t be able to find anyone who will say that they voted for him. Yet we know somebody did, because he won “BIGLY”
what IDIOTS!
F-L-U-S-H 45 AND HIS FAMILY AND HIS K-K-KLAN !
Because you hated the black man you embraced Trumps racist lies and hyperbole and phony promises to help the middle class. He screwed you!. He will tale you’re medicaid/Medicare, your 401k, and your women’s rights while increasing trouble for any gay or lgbt people. Vote democratic next tine and your min wage will get raised. YOU JUST GOT SCREWED!
I’m sorry, but as much as I consider myself a very caring and loving person (I donate to LOTS of charities as well as other kinds of organizations), I really cannot bring myself to feel sorry for these people who voted against their best interests. Sorry, not sorry.
Same here, Cathy.
I would like to think that these people are backwoods people who still only get 5 channels and use not informed as a excuse but I know better. They are just stupid people who refuse to think they might have been wrong. While Trump supporters (especially still those who stand by him) may look or even act like normal people but deep down they think with the same mind as Trump. They do not take responsibility for their actions and blame others. (It is the Federal government on why our town died ) really it has to do with your state and local communities responsibilities. They blame everyone else because they cannot get a job. For example that person just got that job because he is black. Really! Why is 80% white or more working there, yet white only make up little bit over 50% of the population now. Maybe you did not get the job because you did not finish high school. Trump and his supporters are the true definition of what a hypocrite is. Against abortion and birth control (because they are pro-life) but as soon as that baby is born they could give a sh**. Finally their views on practicing the religion also leads to question. Everyone has the right to practice your religion (not just Christians) and while that’s true, it does not mean that you have the right to force your religion on me weather that is in the workforce or anyplace else for that matter.

Everything one needed to know about Trump had been written about for the last few decades. There had been stories about this arrogance, viciousness, illegal activities that his wealth bought him out of the trouble any of us would have been in jail for. They were gullible enough to believe his lies and like the rest of us will be paying for it for a long time. The only thing needed to win the GOP vote now that the party has been taken over by the far right RINOs (because they sure aren’t the trued GOP of old), is to wrap yourself in the flag and spout how great a patriot you are and pretend to be a Christian despite the fact that everything they say and do is against the teachings of Christ. Hint people, going to church and quoting the Bible does not a Christian make if you don’t live it and lets face it, Trump is out for Number One only and that is himself and he will use and abuse anyone else. He doesn’t have true friends or colleagues, just minions that are disposable and that includes his family.
Well Put.
I’m sorry, but when it comes to the welfare of the entire nation, we all have a great responsibility. If there is any real evidence that the Clinton’s murdered someone, then I would think the Russians and right wing journalists would have taken full advantage of that. I have never heard any credible evidence of this accusation. It has been admitted now by Facebook that Russian ads were specifically targeted against HRC. It is no excuse that you “wanted to believe” Trump. No government experience, no willingness to disclose his income taxes, irresponsible rhetoric on bombing other countries, and his vile language regarding his treatment of women were all in full display prior to the election. He had been sued over his real estate ventures time and time again, which was all a matter of public record. His casinos had gone bankrupt! Some businessman! I am glad for every person who now realizes he made a mistake in voting for Trump. I say I hope you don’t do this again. But please take it a step further. Examine the attitudes and beliefs that lead you to this. Listen to some Progressives and some Democrats express their concerns and ideas for this country. And stop the Hillary bashing. Admit that she would have been a far better president, and the damage caused by the failure to elect her will be with us for a long time. We need to return to a focus on issues, policy, and proven facts. When we realize that our personal beliefs and prejudices are not enough to make good informed and responsible decisions about each political candidate, then we may start to heal as a nation.
Thank you Susan Bridges for your well thoughout comment. Trump lost me as soon as I heard his comment that all Mexicans are rapist and murderers (or was it criminal). He really lost my vote when he mocked a disable reporter. Just those 2 comments should have been enough not to vote for him. It certainly was in the past. Even now Republicans are running new candidates who support Trump and think exactly how he does. Folks every election is important no matter if it is for the President or your local school board.
How those people that voted for him didn’t see any of this coming is shocking!!! The writing was on the wall and they ignored it. None of his behavior is a surprise so I blame them and the fellow Republicans who continue to sit by quietly. Our country and the world is hurting and it is only gett No worse.
What i worry is everybody has an opinion but he is still at the WH damaging US every single day something must be done Impeach Imprison Confine that man now
Truth!!!
If you were foolish enough to fall for donny’s long con then you deserve to reap the rewards of you “head up ass” decision to vote for him!!!
Would all of you complainers rather have The New World Order? None of you probably even know what that is! Do your homework!! Donald Trump spared us from an evil far greater than you can imagine! This country was on the brink of extinction and now all you do is complain. I would like to know how anyone could withstand the mean, nasty, vile attacks that our president has had to withstand and still care so much for this country and people. He certainly didn’t need this thankless job and your attacks don’t help him any. He’s doing a job without the support of the republicans and congress and is trying his best to clean up Washington. The swamp has been in power for over 50 years so it can’t be drained overnight!
He does`nt love this country, he loves nothing but himself.. The only reason he signed up for this thankless job is to feed his massive ego. If the country was ever on the brink of extinction ,it`s because of him. . He is the king of the swamp , is in everyone`s pockets,and filled it up with the worst swamp dwellers in history. You have fallen for the con
😂😂😂😂😂
😳😳😳😳😳😳
His love of country? Did he show his love of country in the 60’s when he conveniently had bone spurs and got 5 deferments, while poor and working class were sent to Vietnam in his stead? His love of country bilking construction companies of funds owed through legal finagling? His love of country being a sexual predator to women in New York and any other place he so chose to go? His constant lying and bickering about unfair treatment at the hands of the press? This is a proactive “make America great” person? His kind of love of country and the vast populace love of country do not coincide nor do they coexist. He has been and always will be a self-aggrandizing, self-serving bombastic buffoon. Solely intent on the almighty dollar and it’s path to greed and corruption of one’s own being. Sorry, just can’t see eye to eye with you on this one, and hope the damage that has been inflicted on us as a democratic republic since at least 2001 isn’t something that hasn’t been so exacerbated to such a degree by this jack-o-napes and his lackeys, that it can’t be undone in due time. We have given them all too much leeway with our rights under the Constitution and we have no one to blame but ourselves for this mess we are currently enmeshed in.
As l l ong as our congress and senate are bought and paid for by big business nothing will change. So thank yourself if you voted republican because you are responsible for this mess.There is only one corrupt news network its the one you watch.
Hey, Hoosiers, this sexual predator,”p” grabbing,pathological liar, inept,unfit, ignorant,narcissistic sociopath,bigoted racist is what you voted for,so don’t complain-just suck it up and enjoy the ride.
They couldn’t handle a woman, not after a black man…that’s all there was to it.
I understand that most of Trump’s supporters probably thought they were doing the right thing, but there’s no way you can claim that you were deceived. This man was transparent, right from the outset. You knew exactly who he was: a charlatan…a snake oil salesman.
He is a narcissistic personality disorder with psychopathic tendencies.
As the saying goes, we get the government we deserve. Congratulations. Next time, choose logos over pathos.
When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
Trump is what happens when too many stupid people vote. Then again Murica seems to manufacture stupidity daily!
Indiana won! They got rid of Pence, that was a win.
