'Betrayed' veteran who voted for Trump calls him 'a wolf in sheep’s clothing'

Summary
President Trump's 2024 coalition is fracturing fast. He's alienating Catholics with his Pope feud, losing Latinos and youth with deportation, and now even his military backers are expressing buyer's remorse.Former Air Force Capt. Kathryn Bright, 60, told the Associated Press she's "disgusted" with herself for voting for Trump.According to the report, Bright, who is 60 years old, said she regrets supporting Trump in the last election.“I feel disgusted with myself, I feel betrayed, like he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” she said. “It’s like high school class president: ‘I’m gonna promise we are going to get pizza every single day.'"But Trump never delivered on his promises.“Then as soon as they get elected, they are like, ‘Oh, I lied,’” she said. Among Trump's broken promises are his pledge of no foreign wars, cheaper groceries and cheaper gas. Instead, voters received Venezuela/Iran bombing runs, grocery inflation and skyrocketing gas prices.The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research revealed this week that Trump’s approval rating, particularly when it comes to the economy, has fallen 8 percent in just the last month. Costs in the U.S. are likely to rise as the war in Iran continues, and Trump made it clear that spending would be so significant that it could have funded something like day care for parents. “Don’t send any money for day care, because the United States can’t take care of day care. That has to be up to a state. We can’t take care of day care. We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care. You got to let a state take care of day care, and they should pay for it too," Trump said in early April. “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things,” Trump added. “They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country.”
