The 2016 presidential election brought many firsts, and perhaps one of the most troubling is the wave of regret coming from citizens who voted for President Donald Trump. Freshly elected presidents typically enjoy high approval ratings; according to Gallup polls, the last three presidents held approval ratings in the mid- to high-50s (or higher) during their first few weeks in office. President Trump’s approval rating has gone from low to lower, maxing out in the mid-40s and dropping to a historically low 38 percent as of February 16, 2017.

While we can’t definitively point to the causes for this low approval rating, it’s relatively easy to come up with reasons Trump supporters are questioning the choice they made at the polls. And for each of these reasons, we’ve included a tweet from a “Trump Regretter.”

1. He Constantly Lies

Lately we can’t get through one day without a new whopper from Trump. Here’s a short list of some of his most blatant lies:

The (dishonest) media doesn’t report terror attacks

On February 12, Trump said of Islamic terrorist attacks: “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported and, in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it.” The White House then provided a list of 78 terrorist attacks it claimed proved the president’s statement, all of which were easily shown to have been reported by the media.

Waterboarding works

Trump has repeatedly stated that waterboarding works, including in a January interview with Fox News, despite scientific research to the contrary.

Sanctuary cities breed crime

In a pre-Super Bowl interview on February 5, Trump stated, “I’m very much opposed to sanctuary cities. They breed crime.” But again, pesky scientific research directly contradicts Trump’s sweeping, evidence-free claim.

Millions of people voted illegally

On January 23, Trump stated that between 3 and 5 million people voted illegally in the 2016 election. Many studies contradict his assertion. Not to mention he somehow knows all of these illegal votes were for his opponent. Yea, right.

CNN is fake news (FAKE NEWS!)

A quick visit to Trump’s Twitter account provides plenty of examples of just how strongly he feels about CNN being “FAKE NEWS.” However, he has provided no evidence that a CNN story was actually fake, purposefully incorrect, or in any way negligent to the truth. Jake Tapper asked Kellyanne Conway for evidence on February 7. She of course provided none, while dancing around direct answers to any of Tapper’s questions.

With each of these lies, Trump loses more supporters. He can only lie so many times before more of his voters catch on that these lies are blatant and purposeful — like this Trump voter:

2. He Clogged the Drain

One of Trump’s core campaign promises was to “drain the swamp.” He sold himself as a man for the people, telling us he would take the government back from lobbyists and corporate greed. His cabinet appointees have proved that he has no such plans.

In fact, according to Newsweek, “Instead of draining the swamp, Trump might be the best thing that’s happened to lobbyists since expense accounts.” Perhaps the most egregious appointment was that of Betsy DeVos to secretary of education — a choice so bad that some Trump supporters have turned against him over her appointment alone, as evidenced by the below tweet.

3. He’s Embarrassing

Trump embarrasses us daily. Perhaps Trump voters thought he would drop the childish antics once in office — but no such luck. Trump bullies politicians, foreign leaders, entire administrations, corporations, clothing stores, and news organizations. He hung up on the foreign leader of one of America’s strongest allies (Australia) and he has fully alienated Mexico (that needs no elaboration). He has even become known for his awkward, power-trip handshakes.

This Trump voter wishes he would grow up. But we can all give up on that pipe dream.

4. His Administration is a Mess

Whether we look at the constant leaks from his inner circle, the fact that his national security advisor just resigned on account that he was backdoor-dealing with Russia, or the widely criticized rollout of the “Muslim ban” executive order, it’s clear Trump doesn’t have control of his administration. Nor is he making good choices in his first slew of executive orders. His supporters are taking note, like this Trump Regretter:

5. He’s Dangerous for the Environment

It’s not surprising that Trump pushed forward the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), but many of his supporters were shocked to see him go after the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency (to name only a few). This Trump regretter is pretty clear about his voter’s remorse.

It’s hard to say how this will all play out. The low approval ratings, the regrets, the alienation of foreign leaders; one thing’s for sure, many Trump voters would like to go back to Election Day and check a different box. Who’s ready to invent a time machine?
