“I feel like he is not doing a good job. It’s specifically affecting my community right now. A lot of people are living in fear, and that resonates with me deeply. It’s heartbreaking. The whole FAFSA situation is tough because that’s how many people can attend college. It’s a right to further your education, and taking that away from people is heartbreaking.”

“I feel like everything is going down for real for real, and I don’t feel like he’s doing a good job for me and I’m not a political man.”

“I feel good about Trump. I feel like he is doing good with getting rid of immigrants that are contributing to drug trafficking and human trafficking. It’s contributing to US crimes.”

“I feel like Trump is doing what he wants to do. He’s a man about business, and that’s what he’s turning the presidency into. He’s replacing high-level officials with people who don’t know much about politics but know how to make money. He’s not catering toward minorities like me.”

“I was impressed by the first day—how many executive orders he signed and how he got to work. It’s been kind of promising to see, but it will be interesting to see how things unfold.”

“Right now, I think he’s moving in the right direction with stuff because Biden regressed with things like rising gas prices and the war in Ukraine. I’m hoping the prices go lower.”

“I mean, he’s not doing a great job removing immigrants because I have Latino friends back home in Arizona. Imagine if your friends’ parents were deported out of nowhere, and that’s all they had left. For me, FAFSA is crucial. I need it to go to school, and my siblings need it too. That’s all I’ve got.”
