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.

    “I did 0 research before voting on something that impacts everyone else, and then it turned out to be bad, for ME!”

    We need voting to require proof that you spent more than 5 seconds researching the candidates and their policies, the average voter is just unreal. How is it possible the only reason trump is unpopular is just because prices are high, not his heinous policy or his 959204 crimes?
