单集文稿 ...

  • Donald Trump's been back in office long enough to shock or surprise just about anyone who voted for him at this point,

  • be it the Signal scandal or the tariff turnarounds,

  • the Jeanine Pirro of it all, the way he talks about Ozempic.

  • And he takes the fat, the fat shot drug.

  • So rude.

  • I'm in London and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take.

  • I said, it's not working.

  • On Today Explained, we're asking if any of his voters are experiencing voters remorse,

  • especially those ones who are newer to his winning coalition.

  • Younger voters, black voters, Latin voters.

  • We're heading to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to ask them if regrets.

  • Do they have a few?

  • And just by way of spoiler to get this out of the way, the answer is yes, they do.

  • And he takes the fat, the fat shot.

  • Drug.

  • We used to have big ideals and dreams when we were still in university.

  • We wrote these beautiful application essays about how we were going to fix tax avoidance and tax evasion,

  • how we're going to tackle global hunger and work at the United Nations.

  • And look at us.

  • What has happened?
