People Show Zero Pity For Trumpster Who Says The Government Crushed His Family’s Source Of Income
A supporter who once praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s economic agenda is now facing widespread criticism after complaining about new restrictions by the Trump administration.
The supporter previously praised Trump in an X post, sharing an image of Trump on Liberation Day, captioned “Yes, I voted for this. We are so back.”
- A Trump supporter criticized the administration after new hemp restrictions threatened his family’s livelihood.
- The 0.4 mg THC limit in hemp products bans most gummies, vapes, and oils, impacting a $28 billion industry.
- The hemp restriction passed despite opposition from GOP Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.
- Industry leaders warn the ban could devastate businesses and cost jobs, especially in Kentucky, Texas, and Utah.
In another social media comment, he responded to an X post calling Trump the “Greatest of all time” with “This is what I voted for.”

He quickly turned the tables now that new federal hemp restrictions threaten to destroy his family’s livelihood.
“The Government just f****d my family’s livelihood. Literally destroyed it overnight with the Hemp provision,” he wrote, referring to restrictions added at the last minute in the government funding bill.
“I will not be voting in 2026 or 2028,” the user continued. “The GOP sucks and will sell out to lobbies and Big donors at the expense of the American people. F**k the Government.”

The complaints spread quickly on X, where people took no time in bashing the Trump voter.
“‘I didnt mind the pedophilia, but the hemp provison [sic] really did it for me’ -MAGAt,” an X user responded, referring to the ongoing focus on convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“I’ve seen more republicans turn on this administration because of hemp than they have for ICE violence and the Epstein leaks. they truly don’t care unless it’s happening to them personally,” another user said.
Social media users also criticized the Trump voter for saying he would refrain from voting in the next election, calling it “ignorance.”

“Notice he won’t vote at all rather than voting Democratic to fix this disaster he helped cause, typical white MAGA,” a user commented.
A third user shared a GIF, giving the person a “fell for it again” award.

The new hemp measures were passed after the longest shutdown in American history, and included language strongly backed by Republican Senator Mitch McConnell.
The measure defines hemp and attempts to close a loophole that allowed hemp-derived products to become a $28 billion industry with barely any regulation.
The loophole was created by the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp but did not regulate many hemp-derived products that contain THC.

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main compound in cannabis that causes psychological effects. Hemp is a plant related to marijuana, but it produces THC at a much lower level.
The new rule bans any product containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container, essentially covering gummies, vapes, drinks, oils, and other items made from hemp extracts.
A single hemp gummy typically contains 2.5 to 10 milligrams of THC, the Journal of Cannabis Research states.

The ban could affect more than 95% of all hemp-extract products, including items that have no intoxicating effect, industry leaders told CNBC.
“We have lost the battle this time,” Jonathan Miller, the U.S. Hemp Roundtable’s general counsel, told CNBC. “In effect, this is a total, all out, complete ban on hemp products in the United States.”
The industry is gearing up for a significant lobbying fight, claiming the definition change could put several companies out of business. The industry employs more than 300,000 people, according to cannabis research firm Whitney Economics.

The rule also impacts businesses across the country that invested in farming, manufacturing, retail shops, and processing facilities. States like Kentucky, Texas, and Utah, which boast the largest hemp infrastructures, are likely to face the steepest economic fallout.
Not everyone in the GOP agrees. Sen. Rand Paul attempted to remove the language through an amendment that failed, with only he and Sen. Ted Cruz voting in favor of it.
“This is the most thoughtless, ignorant proposal to an industry that I’ve seen in a long, long time,” Paul said after the funding legislation passed.

The ban takes effect one year after signing, on Nov. 13, 2026, giving companies time to adjust or push for new rules.
The Food and Drug Administration must release definitions and a list of cannabinoids within 90 days.
McConnell and Republicans who supported the bill argued the new restriction “restores the original intent” of the Farm Bill.
