Three-Time Trump Voter Renounces Support in Viral C-SPAN Call

News outlets frame the clip as anecdotal disaffection tied to weak economic approval.

Overview

  • The caller, identifying as Thomas from Hawaii, told C-SPAN’s Washington Journal on Saturday that he now regrets voting for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
  • He called Trump a con man and “the most corrupt president,” citing broken pledges such as lowering prices “on day one.”
  • He compared Trump’s hold on supporters to Adolf Hitler “brainwashing millions,” saying his disillusionment built over time.
  • He urged listeners to “slow him down” by voting for Democrats to restore checks and balances and pointed wavering supporters to LeavingMAGA.org.
  • News coverage circulated the clip and set it against recent polls that give Trump poor marks on inflation and the economy.
