Ok, I understand the cult that won't change their opinion no matter what. But the ones who no longer approve? What did they expect, he's doing exactly what he said he would.

One article about HTS here - there are others. And other views. @davidsonofaaron.bsky.social did a good Briefing Room on them yesterday.
