Supporters Reflect On a Year of Trump

Amber Hall / The Takeaway
L to R: Oklahoma residents Tracey Swafford, Wayne McConnell, Meg Stewart, Will McConnell, and Dwayne Danker speak to The Takeaway in early 2017.

About a year ago, hours after Donald Trump was sworn into office, The Takeaway traveled to Oklahoma and sat down with one family of Republicans, The McConnells, who were divided in their support for the president. 

"I think he's too bombastic. I think he goes overboard but I think he appeals to a lot of people, and in some ways, he appeals to me," said Wayne McConnell.

He’s a plumbing contractor in Oklahoma City. Wayne didn’t vote for Trump, but a year into his presidency, we wanted to check in and see how McConnnell was feeling about the first year. He says that he and his family members have been pleasantly surprised.
