We Went To a Trump Rally: What We Heard Will Shock You
Donald Trump voters told us why billionaires have too much power.
We visited a Trump rally in search of an honest conversation with Donald Trump's supporters about politics and policy, and we got it.
Trump voters told us about some of key issues they want to hear discussed on the national stage, and it’s a message that people across the political spectrum can get behind.

Whose greed? Those people who belong to unions or have investments likely have retirement funds held and managed by Blackrock or Vanguard. The products we buy come from large corporations because they are better and cheaper. That’s us. Corruption is when those we vote for take money we don’t know about, then do things that benefit those who paid rather than those who voted. Until those who do that-both those elected and those directly giving the money to them for favors-are put in jail, nothing will change. Trump never did that. Biden has and still is right now.

I'm a Republican. I support regulated capitalism. The problem is crony capitalism. Trump supporters favor him because he's a political hand grenade in DC. The corrupt Republican leadership and corrupt Democrat leadership hate him. Why is that? It's because he tried to stop our forever wars across the world that made politicians of both parties wealthy. You probably know plenty about how various Republican politicians or their families. Do you know about how Democrat's cashed in too? James Biden made a killing in Iraq on government contracts. The same is happening again in Ukraine. Trump had a peace deal negotiated with the Taliban and Biden broke it. Trump ordered US troops out of Syria but Generals lied about troop numbers so not all were withdrawn. Trump is a jerk. I don't like him as a person. I figure if he's hated so much by the people I dislike, especially from both parties, then he's probably going to ruin their cons. Even if Trump was a con artist using his position as President for personal gain, he'd save the taxpayer money by ruining the rackets of both parties. I don't think Trump was using his position for gain. I think Jared Kushner, his son in law, definitely did. Trump is painted as some Right-wing extremist but he was a Democrat his entire life.

You know... All the folks that at the time said it was a bad idea and told us what the outcomes would be? What was your reaction to the slander and social abuse bandied about towards critics of Bush and the push for war in Iraq at the time? Did you notice said slander came from one side of the spectrum? Because if you didn't notice all that then when it was no less obvious than today I have to look askance at your opinions on just about everything else, considering so much of the rationale for invasion we're supposedly based upon Conservative, Evangelical, and yes despite all their claims to the contrary, even Libertarian principles. It's like, does it matter all the supposed "Centrists/Conservatives" who are against that invasion and the general execution of the "War On Terror" now? Currently that means two things... Jack and shit. Oh... And Jack left town. So... With such a spectacular, if only now admitted disaster that can and should be laid at the feet of so many of our fellow citizens who wouldn't or couldn't see the obvious lies and corruption then of Bush and Cheney but are now flogging Trump... Why should anyone listen to folks that have such egregious judgement? Cuz... Me and mine? We saw through the GOP/Bush BS from the start. The Same With Trump. It ain't both sides.

Trump is the only NON politician running for President. Everyone else is bought and paid for. It's why they are so afraid of him. Trump's wealth is NOTHING compared to Black Rock and Vanguard. The Ukraine war is driven by military contractors and greased by the politicians they control... else peace would have already been negotiated. Trump is the ONLY one who stands a chance at setting this country back in the right direction.

Once upon a time corporations had a sense of obligation to take care of the employees that were helping make the company a success - then in 1970s, MILTON FREEMAN's economic theory came up with the notion that corporations had a duty to their shareholders, not their employees - we need to reverse this trend, get back our decent paying jobs, look after our families, and GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!

Hard to unite with people that want to vote for the same party that created the austerity measures that fucked this country while blaming Dems social programs for it and only taxing 65% of the money being made at 8.7% which is what the billionaires make and pay. Started under Reagan and continues to this day. Unlimited money in politics - republican pac sued to get that through and the conservative majority on SC approved it. Scalise said it only makes sense if you can see who is donating to the PACs but the new majority just ruled that it can be anonymous now. So yea, more corruption. Same problem in California. They complain about homeless people but a conservative judge is the one that ruled the state has no right to remove homeless people from public property and take their tents etc. And you see how that worked out.

When Trump won in 2016, far left liberals were literally hoping that he was a failure in office, they were hoping and itching for him to do terrible. When Biden "won" in 2020, I looked at my wife and said "well, I hope he at least does a good job, and doesn't ruin the country." But, he is ruining the country. Look at the economy, or border, for example.

First president in a looooong time who's net worth went down not many many times higher after office like Bush Clinton and Obama. He donated all but $1 of his paychecks for being president and he didn't donate that $1 because you're required to take at least one dollar.

Nice work. Divide and conquer is the game the billionaires are playing - Good on you for showing what we've got in common. We need more of this. Hope your work gets the attention it deserves!

"We shouldn't hate the rapist or the people making excuses for him." Try licking your own blood off a penis while you're still in training bras and **then** swallowing that BS.
That was excellent. Thank you. I’m glad I found you. I will definitely be watching more of you❤❤
I’m not a leftist but that was downright civil. Good job!
This was so hopeful! Civil discussions and the realization that we have much more in common than we believe. No painted faces or talk of crazy extreme conspiracy theories. Great video showing the real people and common threads that will help bridge this huge divide among the citizens that has been purposefully and dangerously crafted.

If you don't think a lot of the "conspiracies" aren't legit, you just haven't looked hard enough... Where there's smoke, there's fire. Case in point, 60 years of denying UFOs .... now they readily admit it.

I'm glad you talked to people. I thought this was going to be different but rock on dude.
You have a great approach. I'm from the Caribbean and lived a little bit in NY and also in FL and TX. If most leftists were like you we wouldn't be so divided. I'll never agree tho because Ive seen first hand what those policies do.
Nicely done. "They want to divide us. They want us to fight." That's because it means more revenue for the media cheerleader companies.

Once upon a time corporations had a sense of obligation to take care of the employees that were helping make the company a success - then in 1970s, MILTON FREEMAN's economic theory came up with the notion that corporations had a duty to their shareholders, not their employees - we need to reverse this trend, get back our decent paying jobs, look after our families, and GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!

@@soniajulie6465 Looking specifically at media corporations, they should have a duty to their viewers, to their country, to provide factual information in a journalistic (impartial) manner. If they can't or won't do that, they should be branded "entertainment" companies, not "news" services. Take their cue from Vince McMahon, who changed the branding on his wrestling company from "wrestling" to "entertainment." Sadly, it seems as if more viewers desire to be entertained with content that reinforces their preexisting beliefs than to be well-informed.

Its propaganda, I can take the most horrible people I know and talk to them like this, and edit so they seem like saints. I mean they man they are rallying for is against everything they just talked about he proved that with his actions. He was about help rich get richer, and economy is better then it was since he left office. And man wants to screw over that mcdonalds worker who is there to support him. He wants to take social security from his older supporters there as well. These people are just sad and confused...

Loved this. And I respect the conversations being about bettering lives instead of the focus on what we all lack. The solutions will always be in these conversations where we get to know each others struggles. It can be hard for people to not be like “me me me” in conversations but your questions led to actual deeper thought about the ways this capitalistic society have screwed over the people who’ve kept it running.
