Sara Haines picked apart the podcasters on The View, pointing out that Donald Trump didn't hide his intentions from voters when he was on the campaign trail.
"I find it so funny that it's taken Theo Von, Andrew Schulz, Joe Rogan, this long to be shocked," Haines said. "Because, the things they're saying he did wrong though, from immigration — he ran on everything he's doing. He talked about mass deportations. Not a shocker if you're using your brain!"

Conservative influencers have publicly denounced several of Donald Trump's decisions, including accepting a jet from the Qatari royal family and dodging questions about late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
"You're pretending now he flip-flopped," Sara Haines said.
"He essentially broadcast everything he was going to do," Haines added. "So to sit back now, and say 'You know he really disappointed me,' like, maybe that should've started before you used your massive platform to recruit a whole nation of voters to vote for him!"

In an interview with
ABC News, Donald Trump emphasized that voters did "sign up" for his policies after
Terry Moran mentioned supporters who regretted their ballot.
"Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on," Trump said. "I said that — we've been abused by other countries at levels that nobody's ever seen before. We were losing $3 to 5 billion a day on trade. We were losing — a trillion and a half to $2 trillion a year. Not sustainable."
"They were taking advantage of us like they've never — I could've left it that way, and at some point there would've been an implosion like nobody's ever seen," the president continued. "But I said, "No, we have to fix it." I've — I've wanted to do this for many years."

Donald Trump later claimed that his first presidential term proved to be beneficial for the nation.
"You know, I had the best economy during my first term. We had a tremendous economy, tremendous success. And we — we did tremendous numbers of tariffs on — we took in a lot of money from tariffs — China in particular, hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs. We had no inflation, as you know. We had an incredible economy. We were given credit for a great economy. But I said, "We have to fix this, otherwise it's just not self-sustaining."
