I missed this one earlier. Actually, most people are taking the time to find out what Trump is doing, it's his supporters who aren't because his rhetoric tells them what they want to hear.
Most of Trump's supporters aren't paying attention to how Trump's proposed policies would negatively affect a large percentage of the workforce economically. And those who are paying attention seem to be spitefully pleased with it.
For example, my industry has seen a 30% reduction in sales volume since the election. People's incomes are down due to lack of overtime and lower bonuses, and some layoffs and restructuring have already occurred with more expected.
I have numerous friends who work in industries dependent on international trade, and they are all worried for their futures. If either Trump's proposed tariffs, or Congress' proposed border tax, go through, they will probably all lose their jobs.
I have friends who are healthcare professionals, and if the AHCA passes, many of them will lose their jobs.
And if you work in any of the essential government services that Trump is hostile to, like education for example, the prospects aren't much better.
Luckily, (and I say this with all seriousness) the previous administration left us with a very healthy economy, otherwise things would already be much worse. But the cracks are beginning to show..
