“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office, in the minds of Latinos it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” said CNN data chief Harry Enten on Monday.
Enten pointed out that Trump was nearly tied with 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris with Latinos on immigration, where the former vice president enjoyed a 2 percentage-point advantage over Trump in October 2024.
Now, Trump has a -38 net approval rating with Latinos on immigration.
Ha
I hate reporting these days, reporter phrases it like a giant unsolvable mystery.

I find it hard to feel any sympathy for Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024. This guy’s whole platform in 2016 was being racist towards Latinos and he stops saying overtly racist shit for just a bit during the election and people fall for that? It kind of stretches my imagination to think of how someone could be that stupid.
That’ll teach my fellow Latinos to not vote Republican for this and only this election cycle!
Who could have predicted betraying the voting base that handed you the last election would go poorly?
Sure, but why would he give a shit? They’re doing everything they can to make sure he doesn’t need a single vote to stay president.
Yeah, but betting everything on the moron coup is a terrible plan. American voting systems are weirdly insulated from the federal government because states handle the process almost completely. Its absolutely not guaranteed they can compromise the midterms enough to prevent the complete collapse of their coalition. The GOP definitely does care about its total electoral chances outside of Trump.
They had a bizarrely popular mandate on immigration, all they had to do was be SLIGHTLY reasonable and not harass the huge American latino communities. Its an incredibly stupid and unforced error. They could have shut the borders completely with abject cruelty if they just left the communities who voted for them alone.
Sure, but that would mean letting the people they hate and blame for everything bad ever happening to them, stay in the country. When the end goal is racial purity, you can’t half ass it and let a bunch stay. That would invalidate everything they’re trying to accomplish.
Hitler’s “pure” Germany wouldn’t be pure with a bunch of jews living their best lives either. The harassment of the latino population is very important to them, it’s not the end goal, but it’s the first and very necessary step in the lunatics’ plan.
I fucking wish these people didn’t have to learn the hard way… “We” were telling them he’d do this, he was telling them he’d do this, but who know what they were thinking to believe it wasn’t going to go down like this…
I would assume they were happy to close the door behind them, when it comes to immigration. I think they did not expect their friends and family would be deported.
Voters are lazy. I would assume it’s because they equated his first four years to prosperity (it wasn’t) and assumed it would be more of the same.
Idk how anyone would say the first 4 years were prosperous. When he left office we weren’t allowed to leave our house or stand closer than 5 feet to each other and people were freaking out about having to wear masks. People were hoarding toilet paper. That doesn’t seem prosperous to me
Pretty sure that Donvict and Pence were throwing rallies with the slogan “promises made, promises kept” in 2020, too. I kept thinking - really, they promised THIS? A worldwide pandemic that they completely screwed the pooch on?
Yeah, but we all got checks with his name on them and told we don’t have to care about the “weak” in our community if it inconvenienced us. Also racism and sexism and “faith” are back in the open . Isn’t that worth it?
Few groups hate “illegals” more than immigrants. They did it the “hard way” so it shouldn’t be easy for anyone else.
Reminds me of this.
Plot twist - turns out they may just be rounded up and disappeared by the ICEstapo, too. People like Stephen Miller and Bannon don’t GAF if brown people have papers. The “illegal” rhetoric is just a ruse.
Saved you a click: it’s Latinos, and it’s because of immigration.
It would be nice if MAGA could admit that the pedophile shit is hurting them. Im skeptical that it is honestly.
You have to remember, conservatives somehow can wildly object to multiple things in the GOP platform but still vote R up and down the ticket as long as they agree with just one thing.
Pro-life? Better vote for the pro-life people who are all about zero gun control, mandatory death sentences, and no government supported prenatal care - not to mention fucking over immigrant kids/splitting up families!
Love hunting with guns? Better vote for the gun loving people who also want to sell off our national forests, remove all environmental protections, and privatize our parks.
You’d think lots of them would at least draw the line at pedophilia.
Not just “pedophile”, but “child rapist who was close friends with the most notorious child sex trafficker in modern history and transparently had him murdered to cover it up”.
Saved me a click, gave you an updoot.
I’ve seen this gif before. I REALLY want to watch what set of events led to this exact situation.
He voted for Trump
“Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.”
Some internet digging points to an instagram page for Humaid Abdulla Albuqaish, who appears to be a rich and Middle Eastern version of Tiger King.
…I’m not super confident on that, as the pics on the linked page don’t look quite like the dude in the gif; but maybe a 10-years-younger version of the dude just looked that different?
Anywho, if that is the dude, the footage is most likely of a pet, and the situation staged to produce the short.
I still can’t believe people were this fucking stupid.
This was from before 2024 election, for example:
Donvict was pledging to deport millions. Just where do people think these millions were going to come from?
https://apnews.com/article/trump-mass-deportations-latino-voters-ec64f85e3633c9c7a8a247eaf9feb64f
“He’s not meaning to go and deport every family that crosses the border, he means deport the criminals and the sex offenders,” Peña said.
Every time I read shit like this I feel like I’m gonna have an aneurysm.
After decades of fear mongering they thought there were millions of illegal immigrants
So they went from 50% support to 30% support. That’s a pretty hefty change, but given that they’re the regimes primary victims I have to wonder what those remaining 30% are thinking.
PS: In the current stage of American politics, voting blocs are meaningless.
And Latinos are particularly meaningless. In addition to the oft cited differences in which nation they/their family came from, there are a lot of Latinos that are just white people with Spanish last names.
“Obviously I’m fine, I’m one of the good ones!”
Their only thought: “fuck you, I got mine”
I just don’t understand people at all. How any more than 0% Latinos supported him is a real mystery, but I’m supposing of the ones that did support him and did know that he is affiliated with the likes of Stephen Miller and lots and lots of his white supporters want to deport them - of that number, those people probably thought they are one of the “good ones”, he doesn’t really mean it other than getting really bad criminals, etc…
No, he and his ilk want to kidnap and deport you. Yes, this means YOU. Even if you have citizenship, even if you supported him, even if you are registered Republican. Republicans like Stephen Miller and the groypers and so on want this to be a white America for white Americans.
Read about Cubans, the GOP, Kennedy, and The Bay of Pigs.
Gee, I wonder why Latinos would dislike Trump…
I wonder why they didn’t dislike him during the election.
The left: “He’s going to deport you.”
Trump: “I will deport them.”
Latinos: “Well this seems like a guy I can trust!”
Don’t underestimate how much machismo and acting like a tough guy matters to men in Latino cultures. That’s all the men saw and that’s all that mattered to them.
It’s so weird that the super-soft (10 ply even) Manhattanite who has never worked a real job in his entire life is perceived as a “tough guy”.
Seriously, but a lot of machismo shit is definitely more about acting and appearing tough than actually being tough

Not sure, but it apparently wasn’t an issue a a year ago for them.
Didn’t he do fairly well with them in the election? Real leopard energy.
If only that block where the Congress then we could end this nightmare.
This just in: 100% of billionaires still support Donald Trump
Probably see Deported Latinos for Trump signs soon /s
