"WHY ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID": This MAGA Supporter Shared 10 Reasons Why They Regret Voting For Trump [View all]

Welcome back to another episode of leopards eating faces! Today, we've got a MAGA supporter who made a list of 10 reasons why they regret voting for Donald Trump.

The list was posted in the r/LeopardsAteMyFace subreddit, where you can often find Trump supporters coming to the conclusion (finally!) that the orange man just miiiiight have been the wrong choice for the country. Let's go through the list one by one:



1."Prices are all rising."

From Walmart to Best Buy to AutoZone, companies across the board spoke about likely needing to increase consumer prices to cover the cost of Trump's tariffs before he instated a 90-day pause. According to NPR, we can expect more expensive groceries, too, if the pause lifts. Seafood will be hit especially hard since the US imports up to 85% of it. Other imported grocery items that will likely rise in cost include fruit, cheese, nuts, coffee, olive oil, chocolate, beer, and wine. AP also listed clothing, cars, pharmacy orders, electronics, and household appliances as items that will likely see increases. Sooo basically everything! Thanks, Trump!

2."401(k)s are tanking."

Following Trump's tariffs and the resultant uncertainty about the future of global trade, last week was officially the worst week for the US stock market since 2020, during the pandemic. IDK about you, but I am NOT having a good time looking at my retirement accounts (which were already behind for my age, TBH). On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social that he authorized a 90-day pause on tariffs, and the market rallied hard — so we'll see what happens in the coming months.
