Two-Time Trump Voter Exposes Brutal Reality
MS NOW Donald Trump, 80, promised to save farmers, but one of them no longer buys it.
Fate Sparrow is a self-described “hardcore Republican” from Georgia.
He voted for Trump twice.
On Thursday, MS NOW aired an interview between Sparrow and correspondent Nnamdi Egwuonwu, with Sparrow admitting that life on his farm has only gotten harder since Trump took office for the second time.
“The whole time he was preaching, we’re going to help the farmers, we’re going to help the farmers, help the farmers,” Sparrow said.
“And out of any president that I can remember, I’ve hurt more under him than I have under any other president.” He described what’s crushing his operation: the costs.
“Fuel prices, beef prices, I mean, he’s just, he’s cutting our throat,” he said, pointing to the rising costs of his operation.
The interview aired Thursday on MS NOW’s On the Line , hosted by Alicia Menendez.
While introducing the clip, Menendez said that Sparrow is a party loyalist, referring to himself as a “hardcore Republican.” Sparrow didn’t completely write Trump off in the Thursday interview, telling Egwuonwu that parts of Trump’s agenda still appeal to him.
“You know, I hate to bash Trump because there’s some stuff I like that he’s doing, but a lot of it,” he said, looking visibly perturbed, “I really don’t.
Egwuonwu responded, “You voted for him.” “I did.
I voted for him twice,” Sparrow replied.
“How do you feel about that decision now?” Egwuonwu asked, looking curious.
“I won’t vote for him again,” he said.
