They saw the disaster of his first term.

Now they are disappointed by Trump being exactly the same as he always was. My advice to young people - pay attention to what is happening in government and remember it. Any "punditry" you follow has an agenda and is trying to win your vote. If you rely on your own eyes and mind, you'll be fine and will probably not regret your vote.
