A U.S. citizen has gone viral on social media after publicly expressing regret for voting for Donald Trump, following his unexpected job loss. In a heartfelt and emotional clip, the elderly man, who appeared visibly disappointed, described himself as a “fool” for supporting the former president and vowed never to repeat such a decision.
The video, which was originally posted on TikTok, shows the man riding a mobility scooter as he voices his frustration with the economic changes that have cost him his source of income. His candid reflection struck a chord with many online.
“I voted for my own job loss like a damn fool, I ain’t ashamed to admit it. I wouldn’t do that again,” he said in the viral clip. The man’s honest admission quickly gained traction, sparking debate and drawing both sympathy and criticism in the comment sections.
This development comes in the wake of new economic policies recently introduced by the U.S. president, which include increased tariffs on several countries. These changes have triggered job losses across various sectors, leaving many citizens grappling with the consequences.
The video has since generated a flurry of reactions, with users across TikTok and other platforms sharing their perspectives.
