Black men who backed Trump approve of his presidency — but raise some concerns about DOGE

By Bridget Bowman and Ben Kamisar​

A new focus group with Black men who voted for Donald Trump in swing states in November showed that nearly all of them remain staunchly with him, but that the Department of Government Efficiency and his tariffs are potential pain points.

The group of 12 voters — who participated in a recent focus group observed by NBC News as part of the 2025 Deciders series, produced by Syracuse University and the research firms Engagious and Sago — included six independents, four Democrats and two Republicans. Ten of them stood by their 2024 vote, with the remaining two saying they wouldn’t vote for Trump again if given a do-over.

DOGE: The results were far more mixed when it came to Elon Musk and DOGE. Five said they approved of DOGE’s actions, three said they disapproved and the rest weren’t sure yet.

Among those backing DOGE, the spending audits and cuts were seen as bringing a bit of the private sector to government work, aimed at increasing efficiency of employees paid by taxpayer money.

“Every company needs someone to audit them. You shouldn’t be an untouchable, you shouldn’t be a sacred cow,” said Dorris S., a 56-year-old independent from Pennsylvania. “They’re there to maximize productivity and efficiency. I used to manage restaurants, we had health inspectors.”

Meanwhile, Thomas A., a 49-year-old Democrat from Georgia who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and switched to Trump in 2024, said that while DOGE is doing “some good,” he’s concerned about the power Trump has delegated to Musk. He also wondered if DOGE’s work could be antithetical to a push to improve the economy and help everyday Americans.

“He’s too focused on cutting the weeds and the clutter, but he needs to focus on the economy and how to help people,” he said of Trump.

Tariffs: Only three out of 12 participants affirmatively said Trump is making battling inflation a top priority, with those who said so largely connecting it to his threats to enact sweeping tariffs or cut government spending. The two voters who disapproved of Trump after voting for him both raised concerns about tariffs.

Democrats: Still, this group of voters was down on the Democrats, using words such as “liars,” “untrustworthy,” “ungodly,” “a weird agenda” and “weak” to describe the party today.

Taking the Latino approach to Trump. I'm sure it'll work out just fine for them too. :unimpressed:

I’m perfectly fine denying an Islamic regime nuclear weapons. Why is this immoral?
I'm perfectly fine with Iran not having nuclear weapons, as long as we play the same game with the Judeo-Christo-fascist regimes of the United States and Israel. As I said, I'm in favor of nuclear disarmament across the world.

@King Kreole is a wild character :mjlol:
My principles are the same now as they were back then. Which is why no one seems to be able to produce a single post of me advocating for bad policy. But every couple of months we have tweedle-dee (@wire28) and tweedle-dum (@88m3) doing the same dumbass double jeopardy routine in here. It's tiresome posting. They've taken their shot, and missed. If they want to re-litigate the 2016 election, make a thread for it. I'm more than happy to pull their pants down in there. But this pretending to be steaming mad about posts from 10 years ago in order to deflect from me criticizing their shytposting today is the definition of Lower Learning. My crime is hoping 10 years ago that Trump could represent a vehicle for a better political reality to be enacted, and thinking he could be better on certain issues than he ended up being. Mea culpa. Their crime is actually advocating for the bad things Trump is doing right now, in 2025. If you think the former is worse than the latter, you probably took the same short bus to school they did.
