Trump Voter Panel Having Second Thoughts After NFL Comments In a thought-provoking panel discussion featured on "The Young Turks", CNN journalists Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian dive into the shifting sentiments of Trump voters following controversial comments made by the former president about the NFL. This panel showcases a diverse group of Trump supporters reflecting on their initial enthusiasm—many now expressing significant reservations about their choice.

Overview of the Discussion​

During the video, the panelists react to recent events surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem, an action that Donald Trump critiqued harshly, calling for team owners to fire those players. The responses from the Trump voters indicate a notable change in perspective. Initially, these voters were strong proponents of Trump, but as the conversation unfolds, a majority reveal feelings of regret and disappointment regarding his presidency.

Key Highlights​

• Initial Support vs. Current Doubts: When asked if they feel as positively about Trump as they did on election day, only two members of the panel affirm their support. In contrast, three openly share their second thoughts, highlighting a significant shift.
• Influence of Trump's Decisions: Key factors leading to their regrets include Trump's cabinet appointments, particularly the controversial Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, who many see as lacking the necessary qualifications. A teacher expresses that this appointment directly undermines public education, a sentiment echoed by others.
• Political Competence: Another voter expresses disappointment over Trump's handling of the legislative process, indicating he underestimated the complexities of governance and became distracted by social media.
• Concerns about Division: Panelists voice their frustration over political divisiveness, with one voter noting that Trump's fixation on crowd sizes post-inauguration reflected a lack of focus on critical issues.

  The NFL Controversy​

  The discussion extends to Trump’s comments directly affecting NFL players and many voters express discomfort with the president's intervention in social matters. One participant emphasizes the importance of First Amendment rights, criticizing Trump's aggressive rhetoric as unnecessary and potentially harmful to national discourse.

  Conclusion​

  What stands out from this panel is the realization that even amongst staunch supporters, there’s a growing discontent with Trump's presidency—stemming from both his policies and his approach to governance. As time passes, it seems many are beginning to evaluate not just their votes but the implications of the actions of those they supported.
