RantCrush Top 5: January 27, 2017

Donald Trump’s popularity rating isn’t looking so hot. Only one week in, some Trump voters regret voting for him. A sample of tweets shows Americans who were hopeful that he could bring about real change but have now had their hopes crushed. For many, Trump’s statement about moving forward with the Keystone and Dakota pipeline projects were a turning point.

@realDonaldTrump WTF POTUS? I thought you were better than this, Don't make me regret my vote!! Retract this order and move the pipeline!

Others saw Trump’s broken promise to “drain the swamp” as a big disappointment, as Trump has chosen mainly billionaires and CEOs for his cabinet.

Others mentioned his refusal to release his tax returns, his lack of self-control, his endless Twitter tirades, and how they could lose their health insurance if Obamacare is repealed. There’s a lot of “I told you so” comments flying around. Will Donald Trump listen?
