Kyle Plessa, 39, an independent who voted for Trump: “It felt like what I was watching was WWE, pro wrestling. Just the hype, the show, the acting for the cameras. You can tell that entertainment is a big part of Donald Trump’s cred, as opposed to whether you had Barack Obama or Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, and Joe Biden opened up.”
Greg Bruno, 67, a Republican who voted for Trump: “I think Trump proved he’s a man of the people when he threw those pens into the audience after signing executive orders in front of 20,000 people. It just showed you who he really works for.”
Richard Weil, 74, an independent who voted for Kamal Harris: “(His commencement address) wasn’t as dark as his first speech (in 2017), but it was certainly bitter. There was nothing in it that said good things about America.”
Angela Ramos, 37, an independent who voted for Harris: “I found a lot of Trump’s speech to be a disingenuous sense of civic duty.”
