imo this is a pretty good encapsulation of Trump and the Gen Z vote. Both how he managed to do so well with them and also why he lost them so quickly

Have you felt this way for the last year and change since Donald Trump has been in office, or have you felt this way for a long time?

I think it’s just, I guess, how it is. As I’ve grown up, it hasn’t really gotten any better. It’s hard to get a home. I’ve been in apartments for forever. I don’t really see any hope for that kind of thing.

For anyone curious about what it's like in the bro podcast world that went hard for Trump. The NELK boys posted this interview with Eric Trump and are getting flamed in their comment section.

I think if Kirk's audience let him get away with not talking about it he definitely would.

Charlie Kirk: “I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being. I'm gonna trust my friends in the administration.”
Kirk's remarks come after Trump reportedly called him over attacks on Attorney General Pam Bondi

Literally the next day:
Charlie Kirk now says he will continue to talk about Jeffrey Epstein: “When I said for the time being, I was talking yesterday.”
Kirk: “I'm not trusting the government. I'm trusting individuals that you too also trust. You guys are all fans of Dan Bongino and Kash Patel. We are trusting that they heard you, they heard me, and they are working to fix this.”

If/when this blows over it'll be remembered like the other broken promises Oshana referenced in his rant. And come back up again the next time Trump inevitably fails to deliver.

OSHANA: People like me, Adam, the losers that are fed up with all the stuff that we were promised, all the stuff. The war was gonna end in Ukraine on day one. Bullshit. We're sending more weaponry to go over there. OK? All the accountability for the deep state, they're all chilling. They're all walking free. The Brennan and Comey thing I don't give a shit about.

And something is going on, where everybody — we were promised everything. Bongino and everybody came in all riding high, Pat. The moment they came in, everything's changed. And now they're trying to tell us that we're crazy and we're the c-words. I won't even say that word.

So, it's pissing me off. It's pissing me off because now they're trying to tell us, “You guys are — move on." And when somebody like Ben Shapiro of all people is telling me not to look into something and then going, “That's a — it's a conspiracy," I don't listen to it. OK? It's absolutely horseshit. Something is up.

It's safe to assume people like Portnoy who caveat real concerns they have with Trump's plans with stuff like this are in on Trump for ideological reasons but want to pretend they're something more.

“I voted for Trump. I think Trump’s a smart guy,” he said. “You may not love him, I think he’s smart. [Secretary of Commerce] Howard Lutnick, I think he’s smart. I think they’re smarter than me when it comes to these tariffs. I also think he’s playing a high-stakes game here. I’m gonna roll with him for a couple days, a couple weeks, see how this pans out… I’m gonna give Trump the benefit of the doubt here.”

I'm set on the idea that any commentary about what Trump says that looks for a deeper meaning is just a version of this:
