A Maryland hairdresser who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 after believing his promises to lower living costs said she has since lost her home and car, struggled to pay her credit cards, and watched customers disappear from her business. Now, she bitterly regrets helping return him to the White House, declaring that only the devil could govern with such cruelty.
Celia Salmerón, 58, accused the Trump administration of bringing hardship rather than the financial relief he promised voters. She immigrated from El Salvador as a child, and now runs a hair salon in a working-class Maryland neighbourhood with a large Hispanic population.
‘He promised to give us money. But he didn’t give us anything. What he gave us this time were problems,’ Salmerón recently told a media outlet, adding that she had been unable to keep up with her debts and had lost almost everything she worked to build.
‘Ever since Trump came in, I have been bankrupt. I have lost everything: my house, my car. I can’t pay my credit cards,’ she said.
And now they’re part of the ‘what’s the point of voting, nothing ever changes’ gang no doubt
I’d rather they don’t vote at all than vote for Trump
I was going to post that Moe meme. It runs on a loop in my head every time I see one of these articles.
‘If I had known this man was going to behave this way, I would not have voted for him. And I regret voting for him,’ she added.
Where was Salemerón from 2016 to 2020? His behaviour should have been fully evident by then. This is a joke list but there were already signs the antichrist was in our realm, somehow not easily noticed.
Like no one told you this would happen.
FAFO or play stupid games and win stupid prizes
She just got a lesson from the school of hard knocks at 58, looks like a good part of my generation can’t find their ass with both hands and deserve all the tbings coming
Gen X and Boomers got zero excuses. Trump was a national laughing stock in the 80s and 90s. Hell, Bloom County ended the comic in '89 with an absurd storyline where Trump buys the comic and fires all the characters. They put him on The Apprentice precisely because he was a bombastic ass we could laugh at. Late night shows lambasted the man every time he hit the news.
Anyone remember when he announced that we were all to refer to him as The Donald? Anyone remember Trump: The Game, a board game where you play a NYC real estate tycoon? Trump was tabloid trash and we all fucking knew it.
Damn, single issue voters are truly entering the find out phase.
I thought at first that Trump’s hairdresser regretted their vote, because now everyone sees their awful work…
Person that punched herself in dick lamenting how much dick hurts.
Some people say it ironically, in jest, or with hyperbole…
I don’t. I mean that shit. He is literally satan.
I’m an agnostic, but the one thing that’s nudging me toward belief is the fact that the literal devil is running the white house.
I think you’re insulting the devil by saying that. Maybe he’d pursue the same policies, but he certainly wouldn’t be stupid enough to handle them so incompetently… The result would be the same, but people would cheer for the real devil instead of this idiot.
I think they mean that Trump literally fits the description of the Antichrist from The Book of Revelations.
He fits the description of the antichrist better
Who could have possibly seen that coming?!
Haha yeah it’s so funny that someone lost their house and business because of Trump /s
What a bunch of asshats y’all are. We need to be pulling people like her in, instead all you all care about is raging at them like man children.
And only a fool votes for the devil THREE TIMES.
his hairdressers and makeup artists regret ever seeing him, they slammed!
