‘It cost me immensely’: American woman who voted for Trump becomes a ‘casualty’ in his ‘war’

When people voted for Donald Trump most knew that his policies would likely tear apart families and bring misery upon countless Americans. Despite this, millions still voted him into the most powerful position in the country, and now, the very ones who put him in the White House are finding out just how bad the president is making things.

In an emotional post shared to Facebook, one woman described how Trump’s deportation policy has ruined her and her family’s lives by deporting her partner and the father of her daughter. 

What’s the story

Sarah Baruth met her partner 16 years ago, when both were in high school. This man became her first love, first boyfriend, and father of her first child as she puts it. It’s a sweet story of high school sweethearts who clearly loved each other very much, there’s just one problem, Baruth’s partner was in the U.S. illegally. 

Now he’s being extradited even though he has a family in America, and “despite being here before he could even walk.” He even took the necessary steps to try to get the paperwork required to be in the country legally. But anyways, you want to know the real kicker? Baruth admits that she voted for Donald Trump, the man who made no effort to hide the fact that this is exactly what he would do should he become president.

Baruth also spoke out against Trump’s deportation policy, writing, “I don’t believe this immigration policy is in the Will of the Lord.” Honestly, I think a lot of what Trump’s doing would upset the Lord but try telling that to the “Christians” who voted for him.

There’s little sympathy out there for regretful Trump voters

There’s no doubt that this is a truly devastating story and Sarah Baruth is clearly in a lot of pain right now. However, very few online have any sympathy for the mother after she admitted to voting for Trump. Baruth went on to say that this has “cost me (and my oldest daughter) GREATLY.” But she’s still uncertain as to whether she made a mistake in voting for Trump, “Do I feel like I made a mistake? Possibly. Ask me again when I’m not so emotional.”

Baruth is just one of many MAGA supporters who have unfortunately had to find out the hard way that Trump doesn’t care about the people. Earlier this week a farmer who voted for him shared how the tariffs were harming his business.

Both sides harshly criticized Baruth, with a few anti-Trumpers echoing the FAFO sentiment. On X, one person wrote, “I do not understand how people in that situation voted for him.” It’s harsh, but they have a point. Why would Baruth vote for a man whose key policies involved deporting people in her partner’s position?

By far, the most critical group was actually the Trump supporters. One person simply wrote, “He is here illegally. No sympathy.” Despite the fact that Baruth specified that her partner was brought to the country as a literal child, meaning life in the U.S. is all he likely knows, apparently none of that matters to the MAGA crowd.
