A Maryland hairdresser who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 after believing his promises to lower living costs said she has since lost her home and car, struggled to pay her credit cards, and watched customers disappear from her business. Now, she bitterly regrets helping return him to the White House, declaring that only the devil could govern with such cruelty.
Celia Salmerón, 58, accused the Trump administration of bringing hardship rather than the financial relief he promised voters. She immigrated from El Salvador as a child, and now runs a hair salon in a working-class Maryland neighbourhood with a large Hispanic population.
‘He promised to give us money. But he didn’t give us anything. What he gave us this time were problems,’ Salmerón recently told a media outlet, adding that she had been unable to keep up with her debts and had lost almost everything she worked to build.
‘Ever since Trump came in, I have been bankrupt. I have lost everything: my house, my car. I can’t pay my credit cards,’ she said.
At least she understands she was stupid and misguided
Better than the ones in the trenches still thinking he’s their savior
I am sure she will vote for pedopres again.
Those leopards have gotten soooo fat in these 2 years
You should have listened to all the people that fucking told you so
Have the day you voted for dumbass. Those people never had a problem with Trump doing evil things. They only have a problem if it affects them.
And they see a problem with Trump, not republicans in general. They’ll be right back to voting republican again next election (and probably the current election too)
Because abortion
And those forced trans surgeries on kids
I don’t even understand how anyone could have watched him and think, yeah, he’ll be totally great for America.
Especially if you are non-white and/or immigrated here.
What do they think signs like “Mass Deportation Now” even mean?
These people are religious single issue voters
A lot of the ones I meet/talk to believe that he is the billionaire business genius that his marketing sells.
There’s a statistic I saw the other day that something like 90% of Trump voters have never actually listened to him speak. Like, not properly. They see him in clips and soundbites. Part of a sentence, that sort of thing. When you cherry pick, you can find the stuff that sounds good, and they just fill in the rest. It’s only when you hear him for a solid minute that you really get that awful sense that this is not a remotely cogent or intelligent human being.
They’re not voting for Donald Trump, they’re voting for the guy from The Apprentice. They’re voting for a character, and that character sounds like someone who knows how to solve money problems and make deals. They figure, that’s all politics really is, right?
Of all the memeplexes out there, the one about how America and rugged individualism is best exemplified as “small business owners” and/or businessmen, and that this country ought to be run by these types, i.e, as a business, meaning a “CEO President”.
Just the most incorrect and toxic set of ideas, all intertwined.
Jesus fucking christ that’s bleak. Explains a lot though
I especially don’t understand how a hairdresser could watch him and think, yeah, that’s the hair of a sane person with good priorities.
Oh my word, that’s a very good point.
🤣
He bragged about assaulting women and they said that’s for me!! They fall for the propaganda blaming minorities and join the bad team to feel belonging, it’s really sad, they could join the good team to belong as well but choose bad.
I wish humans were smarter :(
They are, but they need adequate education rather than evil indoctrination. They need social media without misinformation algorithms that prey on their tribal instincts. They need proper guidance and love as children to develop healthy coping skills. They need to be kept away from dark triad people.
I wish they had more empathy more than anything else.
Fun Fact: Conservatives are biologiclly unable to experience empathy. It is not possible to hold conservative views and experience empathy simultaneously.
Granted. One person is now insanely smart, enough so that the average human intelligence is significantly raised, but in practice nobody ever listens to the smart person because they’re too dumb.
Wait, I’ve seen this movie.
First time, you’re gullible. Second time, you’re malicious.
After January 6th, your a insurrectionist supporting traitor.
First time was malice too
voted for Donald Trump in 2024 after believing his promises to lower living costs
No she didn’t.
immigrated from El Salvador as a child,
Implying she had any say in the matter as a child. Her parent(s) made the decision and dragged her along regardless of her feelings on the matter.
Celia Salmerón, 58, accused the Trump administration of bringing hardship
She willingly voted for a guy who said he’ll be deporting her Mexican ass back to Mexico. As well as how Mexicao isn’t sending their best. She thought that the Orange Pedo knows El Salvador isn’t Mexico and she’s special since she’s not Mexican and Trump isn’t talking about her and her totally-not-Mexican family.
only the devil could govern with such cruelty.
He told everyone in the world about his intent to unleash cruelty and she thought it won’t affect her because she’s not Mexican or “black” or Haitian. She’s special and “an American”. Forgetting where her El Salvadorian ass came from.
Many of Salmerón’s clients are undocumented immigrants, including some with pending asylum claims, making her neighbourhood particularly vulnerable to the administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement.
He told everyone he’ll be cruel and you chose to vote for him and his cruelty because you’re too stupid and self centred to realize you’ll be affected and targeted as well.
Tough titties, Celia Salmerón from Not-Mexico.
Trump’s economic promises and immigration policies are alienating voters who helped deliver his return to the White House.
Lol. At least 30% are still singing “aye vil woat for Donol Tromp” and joining ICE to dish out cruelty.
Bon Voyage, Latinos for Trump.
I’ve always wondered how people got fooled by such obvious lies. Now I’m getting the picture of someone who probably based their decision on nothing but a couple of ads. The mediocre honest promises have no chance against grandiose lies if they believe both.
Single issue voters, hand wave/ignore the rest
My parent voted for RFK Jr :/
My mother in law was going to vote for him, she’s otherwise reasonable and intelligent. Her low media literacy coupled with addiction to social media convinced her that was the best choice. She knew nothing about snake oil or heroin or lack of belief in germ theory. The guy said he’d put her grandson in a camp and she didn’t know about that either. If I hadn’t been there to explain she would have happily voted because Kennedy means good. There are millions not as lucky and voted exactly like that, or voted for Trump when Kennedy joined him.
Yes, someone was so sure fraud is easy with various voter registration methods, those two guys got busted for it too lol. If there was a legit issue a lawsuit would have been won by now to change it, but decades later the truth prevails. They believe it so much, but won’t try to bring a case themselves. All talk no action.
Haha and lol! They keep thinking they know better than what all the data shows on every issue, and are wrong, but keep doubling down on being wrong. It’s their team tradition and sadly it brainwashes too many people repeatedly and they go against what is proven to work.
I probably wouldn’t say this in public outside of these safe spaces.
That Maryland hairdresser and every other dumb fuck who voted for Trump is stupid.
The end.
In my real world life, I handle these conversations with Trump Voters.,as follows: Well, we definitely need to learn and we need to put a stop to this craziness. I think we’ve all been misled.
Seems like a response with more integrity between the two is possible, rather than they think you support the rapist traitor too. No one with critical thinking was misled, but very generous of you. Neither approach will change their vote if attached to team maga for identity and belonging. The flip floppers will keep doing that since they don’t understand it any better either.
“Some people need to feel it to believe it”
“I voted for him because I wanted others to suffer not I.”
Sadly
And they still find a way to blame Dems and keep voting stupid.
To believe a politician’s promises makes you dumb. If that politician is trump, you’re about 10000% dumber.
Soooo…she got what she voted for. After all, no one could possibly have anticipated this, and I’m sure no one ever said anything in the news or social media before the election that this might happen. /s
