A report from DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY, where Trump took a victory lap in front of cheering fans. They also shrugged off questions about Trump’s policies, like efforts to gut agencies and fire thousands of workers. “I understand their pain, but understand our pain,” said one Trump supporter.

The nihilism of these Trumpers is something to behold. Well, they'll get to experience their own pain as all these layoffs, broken contracts, frozen grants and such affect economic activity, the tariffs roll through, and H5N1 explodes. Gonna make March 2020 look like a breeze. Alas, we go along too!

People are losing their livelihoods. People are losing access to life saving medical care. But what's important is this guy's pain, which consists of being angry that transgender people were recognized and treated like human beings?

He only got 90% approval after sitting there blinking. I don't think history changes if reporters or cameras were not there. I would prefer more reporting on illegal actions.

Pain: a black man was president for 8 years. It still hurts. I know it's like experiencing culture shock for the first time, but these people do not think like you do. You are never going to "reach" them. Even if what Trump does hurts them, they will accept whatever spin is given by him or Fox.

They are about to understand pain in ways they did not expect. When you vote for cruelty above compassion, when you are willfully ignorant or worse, you are not immune from the consequences
