Ohio voter Annette Dombrowski is one of many swing state voters who picked President Donald Trump three times in a row, but now she’s about to lose her job in a Trump economy where everything is only getting more expensive.
“I actually have panic attacks,” Dombrowski told MS NOW reporter Alex Hebit. “I've had a couple this past week and I get very emotional over it. I don't want to work anymore, but I can't afford to retire.”
Dombrowski works as a janitor at the Conn Selmer plant in Ohio, but MS NOW anchor Jen Psaki says the plant's billionaire owner, John Paulson — a close Trump ally — offshored the plant’s jobs to China, despite Trump purporting to be an “America First” president. Now Dombrowski is about to be unemployed.
When the reporter asked Dombrowski if she believed the wealthy President Trump can understand her predicament she answered flatly, “No.”
“No, he hasn't lived it to understand it. He sees it. He has not lived it. He needs to live it,” said Dombrowski. “Wear the clothes. Wear the shoes. Wear the Walmart clothes. Wear your Walmart shoes. Do your thrift store shopping. Don't eat steaks. I don't get to go out to dinner. … It's not an overnight thing, but it's been two years now. You said you'd bring down the grocery prices. I must be the most angry person when I grocery shop, because I buy the same things every week, and I see it jump every week.”
But she wasn’t the only Trump voter furious in a state that supported Trump in 2008 and 2024. MS NOW also spoke with Ohio truck driver Chris Tackett.
“He said he was going to fight for [us]. This time around. I haven't seen it,” said Tackett. “He's literally backtracked on every single pitch point he had during his election. All we heard was ‘drill, drill, drill’ during the election. And now all we're getting is drilled into the dirt with these prices. So, I'm not a fan of them. I voted for Trump all three terms, to be honest with you. I'm not a big supporter of him at this point.”
One time Trump voter Rob Couch had a more livid response when asked what his message wass to Trump, despite voting for him.
“F—— you,” Couch barked into the microphone. “I don't mean to be disrespectful to any leader, but he's disrespectful to us and he doesn't care.”
