Chapter 1: Why are Trump supporters turning against him?
We are hearing from a lot of Trump supporters who are now having their lives destroyed by Trump's policies. Many actually even worked for the federal government and they said they were trying to help the government become more efficient, but Donald Trump fired them and made everything less efficient. I want to give a hat tip. to NBC 10 Philadelphia. Support your local news.
Here's a former IRS worker who supported Donald Trump speaking out to NBC 10 Philadelphia after being fired by Donald Trump while working at the IRS. I want you to watch this.
Do you make the Trump administration's actions?
I thought that he was... I did support him. I was a Trump supporter. You know, when he talks about government waste and all that, yes, I'm behind it. I believe there is a lot of stuff in the government that needs fixing. And that's part of the reason why I actually wanted to work for the government, actually, to help change, help change the things that are wrong in the world, you know? Yeah.
I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people's lives for no reason.
Right now, this individual, you heard him say that he thought that because Donald Trump's a good businessman, that Donald Trump would go in there with a scalpel and not a chainsaw and fix things. Donald Trump was never a good businessman. We tried to tell you that here over and over again on the Midas Touch Network. He bankrupted his casinos.
He bankrupted most of the companies he touched and owned bankruptcy after bankruptcy. and then companies that he lent his name to did horrible, and many of them went out of business. Now, just look at his most recent company. Just take the most recent company, Trump Media, which lost $400 million last year and only earned $3.6 million in revenue. So in terms of that guy in Philadelphia,
You know, a Philly cheesesteak restaurant probably does more revenue than Trump media in a year. I'd be willing to take a bet on that. And Trump lost $400 million last year. And by the way, when you go through Donald Trump's financials, You take a look at it. This is what he filed. This isn't me saying this. This is what Trump filed.
There's a section because when you're a public company, you have to list all of your bankruptcies and you have to list all of your businesses that went out of business and failed. It's a requirement if you have a publicly traded company. So here it is, February 14th, 2025. Just take a read at this. I'll show you the screenshot.

Chapter 2: What did a fired IRS worker say about Trump?
are letting their legislators their representatives know what the hell are you doing you're giving elon musk access to our private data you're letting elon musk and these billionaires gain access to our medical files and our tax records
and our social security information, and have access to the Treasury Department's transaction payment system, and you're firing all these veterans, and you're destroying the lives of veterans. I'm doing a whole other video of disabled veterans who have just had their lives gutted by the Trump administration. People are pissed.
Here's a Trump voter realizing that Trump is pro-Russia and regretting the decision to vote for Donald Trump. This guy goes, supporting Trump was not a popular thing that many of my friends and family members, when I told my friends and family members, but I did it nevertheless. If Trump really said that Ukraine started the war, I feel deeply ashamed for my naivety.
I strongly assume that most decent people feel the same way. Yes, he really did say that Ukraine was responsible, and he said that he trusts Vladimir Putin, and he called Zelensky a dictator this past week. Here's another one from WTOP News. This FEMA civil servant and disabled veteran voted for Trump. Now he's out of a job. Quote, this American veteran told WTOP, care of Steve Inskeep.
Quote, I voted for Donald Trump, but this is not what I was expecting. We didn't think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug. The man said he was a Trump voter. He was fired by a White House whose officials have assumed and said in TV interviews that federal employees are almost all far left. He was dismissed as part of a widespread purge.
The forum email reads, the agency finds based on your performance that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the agency would be in the public interest. The government blames his firing on him. WTOP says it reviewed his positive evaluations as a leader. The man and his wife accepted that the U.S.
needs to save money, but assumed that as a veteran of long service, he would be safe. They're calling their reps in Congress. So he thought it would happen to other people, not him. By the way, military veterans make up, I mean, 25% of the newly hired workforce in the government as of 2023. Veterans make up somewhere between 30 plus percent of people who are in the government.
Let me show you this. This is from Georgia's 7th Congressional District right here. This is MAGA Republican Representative Rich McCormick comparing his own constituents who asked him tough and fair questions. He calls them January 6th insurrections. These are Republicans in a Republican district saying, why are you giving Muscar stuff? Here, play this clip.
Tyranny is rising in the White House and a man has declared himself our king. So I would like to know, rather the people would like to know, what you congressmen and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House.
