Did They Pay Attention Even a Little Bit

Despite claims from some influencers, polls indicate that a majority of Americans believe Donald Trump is largely fulfilling his campaign promises on key issues like immigration, crime, and foreign policy.

• Manosphere influencers express disillusionment with Trump, despite his consistency on campaign promises.

• Trump has actively pursued policies on immigration and crime, aligning with his 'Law and Order' platform.

• Trump's foreign policy has focused on non-interventionism and brokering peace deals, often challenging traditional diplomatic norms.

A recurring narrative suggests that 'manosphere influencers' and some voters are disillusioned with Donald Trump, claiming he isn't delivering on his promises. However, a contrasting view argues that Trump is, in fact, doing exactly what he campaigned on, particularly regarding immigration, law and order, and non-interventionist foreign policy. This perspective highlights a disconnect between the expectations of some recent supporters and the consistent track record of Trump's agenda, which aligns with his long-held positions.

Influencers' Disillusionment

• 00:00:00 Some manosphere influencers and former supporters of Donald Trump are reportedly 'cooling on him,' expressing surprise and disappointment that his actions in office do not align with their expectations. They claim to have voted for 'none of this,' especially regarding enforcement actions like raids at Home Depot or changes in foreign policy. This sentiment suggests a feeling of being 'gypped' by the administration, despite its perceived effectiveness.

Trump's Policy Consistency

• 00:01:04 Contrary to the claims of some disillusioned supporters, a central argument posits that Donald Trump has consistently pursued the policies he campaigned on. For instance, his stance on immigration, crime, and non-interventionism has been remarkably steadfast, even before his presidency. Supporters argue that his actions align with the agenda they voted for, despite some minor compromises or unexpected developments.

Immigration and Crime

• 00:09:07 Donald Trump's campaign promises on immigration included massive deportations and sealing the border, which he has actively pursued by increasing federal operations targeting undocumented individuals and sanctuary cities. Similarly, his commitment to 'Law and Order' has been demonstrated through executive orders and the deployment of National Guard troops to cities like D.C., Los Angeles, and Portland to address public safety and violent crime, fulfilling his promise to be tough on crime.

Foreign Policy and Public Opinion

• 00:15:03 Trump's long-standing non-interventionist foreign policy has translated into brokering numerous peace deals and ceasefires, including significant agreements between Israel-Iran, India-Pakistan, and Armenia-Azerbaijan. Despite claims that he is 'doing Israel's bidding,' Trump has reportedly been more direct and critical of Netanyahu than previous administrations. Polls indicate that a majority of Americans (52%) believe Trump is doing what he promised, contributing to his stable favorability ratings and suggesting voter expectations align with his actions.
