Chapter 1: Why are Michigan Trump voters regretting their choice?
Michigan voters are having some serious regrets about picking Donald Trump. Michigan went for Donald Trump in 2024, but a recent focus group by Axios and the group called Engage Us Sago spoke with some of the Trump voters in Michigan who are livid to say the least. Overwhelmingly, the Trump voters in this focus group were pissed off. They said they feel utterly betrayed.
They say that Donald Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the country and their state, and they want their vote back. We'll just show you a little bit from this focus group that was released a short time ago. Let's play it.
A show of fingers. Who approves of what Elon Musk has been doing in the Trump administration? None of you. Who disapproves? All seven of you.
See, he wasn't elected to do anything. Like, I don't understand his position. It's a made-up position that they made, department or whatever. And he's been going through with a sledgehammer, just actually dismantling everything with the approval of Trump. So I'm almost at the point where, did he actually buy the election to do what he wanted to do?
He was president for four years. You knowingly chose to put him back in office, having watched him in office for four years. How can you be surprised?
I don't feel like he was this aggressive last time, so I don't think anyone would have voted for him if they expected to see what we're seeing now.
I don't understand the need to piss every other country off. Like, Canada. Like, we love Canada, don't we? Like, I just, my whole life, there's never been a problem with Canada.
I thought he was going to, like, change things with affordability and make things cheaper, but by, like, putting these tariffs in and terrorizing the world, now things are just getting more expensive. Everything I believed was going to happen, I think, is going to go the opposite direction.
I feel like a lot of his actions have just been disruptive and creating chaos.

Chapter 2: What are the views of Michigan residents on the current administration's impact?
Social Security, Elon Musk calling it a Ponzi scheme, Trump's Commerce Secretary saying you're probably engaged in fraud if you complain if a Social Security check is missed, gutting Medicaid, $4.5 billion tax cuts for billionaires, so on and so forth. What are you telling people who are like, I'm nervous, what do I do tomorrow?
First of all, that you should be scared. It's okay to be scared. It's okay to be anxious. It's okay to be angry about what's happening right now. We got an email from a constituent who saw that telehealth visits have been cut off and she's on Medicare. And she's like, this is a lifeline for me. I don't have transportation. I live alone. And I don't know what to do.
And as Democrats, we have to reach out to people and tell them you have every right to be angry. Let's fight back together. Here is how we are going to build this back together. I see some corners of the Internet are kind of reveling in, you know, around and find out and treating people like you should have known what you were voting for.
We have to win, and we win by bringing people back into the Democratic Party, by showing them that we have a path forward that is not about slashing all of these things that you worked so hard and pay for with your tax dollars. We are not about to give your tax dollars to Elon Musk and to Mark Zuckerberg.
we're going to rebuild these systems for you and we have to create a system where they want to be a part of joining us and as you say in your book don't check out stay in the fight stay in there everybody get a copy of this hate won't win find your power and leave this place better than we found it state senator mallory mcmorrow and of course everybody knows the historic speech that you gave i normally would play it at the beginning but everybody knows state senator mcmorrow
I'll ask you the obvious question if you're going to be running for Senate, but I'm not sure you'll give the answer anyway. And so I'm rooting for you. And that's all that I will. That's all I will say. Thank you for joining.
Thanks, Ben.
