Summary
Trump’s support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.
Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.
Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they’re going to come take me somewhere I won’t be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”
“I just don’t understand why he betrayed Us, I mean… he did nothing but campaign on open contempt for our people, but surely he cant be held accountable for that! This is just so unexpected and blindsiding us!”
I love my Latino brothers and sisters in the world but I will never understand why a single one of them support Donald trump. it makes no fucking sense at all.
No fucking way! I don’t feel sorry for any Latinos or Hispanics that voted for Trump. Ya’ll are traitors to democracy and our constitution for installing a dictator. You think people would learn from the dictatorship countries they fled.
Something something about leopards eating faces……
If only someone had told them …
Not betrayed. Victims of their own stupidity. A bunch of ladder pullers.
After all this still 28% approves? Guess I need to call the White House and ask to tighten the knot a bit more then? /s

If you voted Trump as a Latino, that’s a special sort of stupid.
latinos down south have been brainwashed and indoctrinated since thier parents immigrated here decades ago,.
They’ll vote for whoever replaces him too. Nobody had learned any real lesson.
Fucking duh. Latinos here in Canada have been laughing at you.
In 2020 the democrats were calling the border wall racist and they won, then in 2024 it was “we’re the ones who are actually gonna build the wall, Trump’s all talk.” They literally tried to position themselves to the right of Republicans on the issue in order to win over the mythical centrists, and predictably what happened was that their support among Latinos broke down.
A lot of these people are religious and conservative, but were willing to vote for Democrats as long as there was substantial differences on race/immigration. But even if they were the “lesser evil” on immigration from a pro-immigrant perspective - something which they denied as hard as they could, by the way - if the difference didn’t appear substantial any more, if it was framed in technical arguments about how to do it rather than moral arguments about what to do, then many of them no longer saw it as damning and voted based on other issues where they’re more aligned with Republicans.
This is often what swing voters actually look like, by the way, and why pivoting to the right to capture them is often counterproductive. It turns out pivoting right on an issue where doing so directly harms millions of people so you can appeal to the dozen or so people who like Dick Cheney loses elections. Swing voters are a lot more complex than the idiotic “conventional wisdom” that just has everyone at a different point on a one dimensional left-right scale.
he was always going to betray hispanic people, the gop never liked them.
I see no betrayal here. He said what he was going to do, and the trees voted for the axe.
