Ex-Trump supporter David Weissman said backlash from Make America Great Again followers also made him reconsider backing Trump's slogan and message.

A well-known supporter of President Donald Trump who flipped more than a year ago has admitted that Trump thriving on insulting others is what"snapped" him out of the"trance" of the president's Make America Great Again slogan and leave his army of followers.The Independent

Weissman, an Army veteran with more than 95,000 Twitter followers, wrote that he spent a couple of years defending Trump and calling media critical of the president"fake news," before realizing he"had always been aggressive and mean." Weissman recounted that a liberal comedian, Sarah Silverman, reached out to him after he attacked her online and"used kindness, which was not expected, and she got my attention." Weissman said Silverman told him why she did not like Trump"without any arguments," and that he learned about Democratic values as other liberals communicated kindly with him.

He now goes to rallies and screams obscenities at Trump voters.

I know David! From Twitter! davidmweissman Some MAGA folks:

FakeNews. Look at this guy’s shirt. He was never a conservative.

Same thing for me.. when the President attacks American corporations, American politicians, and American citizens in order to BULLY, but is nice to dictators.. i realized this is not how I want my children to act! This is no leader, no president, even though I voted for him!

Fakenews

Then there's a chance I've converted a couple thousand by now.

It smells like a Democrat talking

give us the real news!

IMPEACHERATOR1 We lost 1, don't worry though we picked up thousands more. The President is more popular now than ever before.

If Trump had followed the ideas he spoke about in his inaugural speech he would have been a good President! Instead the working man got: the attempted repeal of ACA, tax cuts skewed toward the 1% and endless trade war. Wake up folks he is not our friend!

Wow this article really triggered folks. A guy can look at his actions and account for them. I like the idea of him growing.

It’s good at least one supporter saw the light.

Trance? Really? Funny how many thousands of former Dems have been broken out of their Dem trance and have seen the light. They have become Trump supporters.

Lol.. Weissman didn't get any likes as a Trump supporter so he flipped one day and got thousands.

I call bullshit

Sounds kinda like common sense to me.

We need a lot more people to snap and get this guy out of here.

Right. Sure.

Lol ok

so fake.. you really expect anyone to believe that a Trump supporter became a warren supporter overnight. You have to do better than this guys

Looks like he isn't happy to be.

Newsweek found one Cry-Baby who couldn't handle our great president. Now he's a sissy supporting Warren? Weird

lmao, this is a bs article which is telegraphing to lefty types to step up and escalate things. Hmmmmmm coincidentally, some AOC supporters think we should start eating babies

David is all Sour Grapes. Not sure why anyone cares about him... His Mommy needs to tuck him in tighter tonight.

They sound like followers looking for a cult. Sorry, only independent thinkers allowed here.

Whatever happened to real news!

Hallelujah.

We need about 40 million more out of that trance.

people make up stories all time to suit their agenda sadly...

Welcome back!

FAKE BS
