Trump supporters are revealing the ‘red line’ that would make them stop supporting him and people say it’s ‘disturbing’
President Trump’s approval ratings have dipped significantly just eight months into his term, according to recent polls. Emerson College Polling shows 45% approval versus 46% disapproval, while Quinnipiac University recorded a historic low of just 38% approval. These numbers have sparked discussions among Trump supporters about what might make them withdraw their support.
On Reddit, users shared their personal “red lines” for abandoning Trump. One respondent said their father, a staunch supporter, would turn against Trump if Medicaid and Social Security cuts were implemented. Others reported family members viewing liberal policies as unacceptable, describing them as “a disease” needing eradication.
Some former supporters cited specific breaking points. One user said the January 6th Capitol attack made them abandon Trump, calling it an assault on democracy. This individual has since become a moderate Democrat after reevaluating their political beliefs.
Another Redditor mentioned Republicans who switched sides after Trump’s controversial February meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky. These supporters reportedly objected to Trump’s handling of the Ukraine situation.
The thread revealed deep divisions, with some comments labeled “disturbing” by other users. Many responses highlighted how policy decisions, rather than personality, could erode Trump’s base.
While core supporters remain loyal, the polls suggest growing dissatisfaction. The Quinnipiac survey marks the lowest presidential approval rating in decades, indicating potential trouble for Trump’s political future.
These discussions underscore how Trump’s presidency continues to polarize Americans. With supporters setting clear conditions for their continued backing, the administration’s policy choices may prove crucial in maintaining its base amid declining approval numbers.
