A panel of black voters spoke with CNN political analyst Van Jones and thoroughly eviscerated any theories about there being some regret when it comes to Trump supporters.
The three individuals, each defined as not supporting the President before ultimately voting for him, had little hesitation when Jones asked if they were currently having second thoughts.
Their comments show the media's coverage of 'buyer's regret' has been little more than wishcasting on their part.
Jones presented each individual with a simple 'yes or no' question: Would you vote for Trump all over again?
"Yes, I would," said Detra German, though she did suggest a willingness to vote for either party if that future candidate's platform aligns with her best interests.
Voter Seth Dawkins definitively replied in the affirmative as well.
Another woman, Kyasia Kraft, was the most enthusiastic of the panel, saying she still supports President Trump.
"1,000%," she declared. "Absolutely, yes."
Equally fascinating in this segment is what drew these particular Trump voters to him in the first place. The younger gentleman, for example, brought up Trump's authenticity, which he described very candidly.
"I mean, part of it is he's an a**hole," he told Jones. "I like authenticity."
Kraft explained that she started to come around on Trump after watching a roaring economy during his first term, until media fear-mongering on COVID decimated the entire country.
"I saw how things were going during his first term, and I was pleasantly surprised, and I was pleased with what was happening," she said. "I saw the economy getting better. I saw relations in certain countries getting better."
Van Jones did his best to sway each black voter in his disdain for the President, suggesting Trump and his team are trying to "knock out the black museums" with their anti-DEI push. He even claimed Trump has ended any efforts to keep police departments from being "brutal toward the black community."
None of it worked.
And if you genuinely want to get a handle on the fact that CNN is just not catching on to why Trump is popular and would almost certainly still win the election if it were held today, take a look at Anderson Cooper when they pivot to him after the panel discussion.
Cooper immediately mocks the three black voters for being ignorant. Which, can you imagine if a Fox News host tried making a similar insinuation?
"It's interesting there," Cooper sneers. "Most of the information that they are getting - or misinformation they may be getting - is coming from online."

Is he unaware that CNN has a monopoly on misinformation? It hurts, doesn't it, Anderson, knowing you can't regurgitate Democrat talking points masked as "news" any longer when people have access to their own information 24/7?
Poor guy.
Cooper and Jones might have consulted CNN's resident data guru, Harry Enten, who in recent weeks tossed a wet blanket on the persistent media theory that voters who cast their ballot for Trump wished they hadn't.
“I hear all these stories, all these articles, ‘All the Trump voters, they regret what they did back in 2024.’ I’m here to tell you, uh uh. Very few of them regret what they did back in 2024," Enten told viewers.

They could have consulted with CNN political analyst Scott Jennings, who has effectively explained why people who cast their ballot for Trump are thrilled having done so, even despite the constant negative news coverage.
"It strikes me that this is a healthy level of copium going on right now among Democrats who are telling themselves stories that the people who voted for this are not happy with it," Jennings said. "The vast majority, if not everyone who voted for Donald Trump, is some level of happiness ranging from 9 to 10 on the happiness."
CNN just found three voters who are exactly a 10 on that scale. And they're furious because those voters are black and, in their minds, not intelligent enough to recognize how bad Trump supposedly is for them.
Keep seething, gentleman. Your own ignorance and that of your network will help propel Republican gains in the Senate in 2026 and JD Vance to the White House in 2028.
Keep doing what you're doing. It worked out great for you in 2024.
