Trump Voter Calls C-SPAN Live: Worst President Weve Ever Had [418G1xtgrvA]
A three-time Trump voter from Hawaii called C-SPAN's Washington Journal on Saturday, May 17, 2026, and did something no one expected — he told the truth. "Thomas" told host Taylor Popielarz he regrets every vote he ever cast for Donald Trump, calling him "the worst president we've ever had and the most corrupt president we've ever had." He said Trump was a con man who doesn't keep his promises, that he's "in office all for himself," and that the day-one price-lowering pitch was a lie. The Reddit clip of his call hit 10,568 upvotes in 48 hours and spread across Bluesky, TikTok, and Facebook. Thomas isn't alone — a University of Massachusetts Amherst poll found 17% of Trump's own 2024 voters now express reservations about their vote, up from 8% just one year ago. Reuters/Ipsos shows only 1 in 4 Americans approve of Trump's handling of inflation. Fox News' own polling shows 73% of voters rate the economy negatively. The cracks aren't just in the base — Megyn Kelly, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Tucker Carlson have all publicly broken with Trump on issues from Iran to the Epstein files. Thomas pointed other doubting Trump voters toward LeavingMAGA.org, a community founded by former MAGA podcaster Rich Logis for people trying to walk away. When a guy who voted Trump three times calls the most boring channel in America on a Saturday morning to say he was wrong — that's not a hot take. That's a confession. And the people running this thing should be terrified.
