An elderly U.S. citizen has expressed deep regret over casting his vote for Donald Trump, after recently losing his job due to new government policies. The man shared his frustration in a video posted on TikTok, where he appeared riding a mobility scooter and spoke candidly about his experience.
“I voted myself out of a job like a damn fool,” he said. “I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’d never do that again.”
His remarks come amid a wave of new tariffs and economic policies introduced by the former president, which have reportedly impacted jobs across the country.
The video quickly went viral, prompting strong reactions in the comments:
