The backlash has been far and broad, with many people and organizations chiming in. One word specifically that has lately drawn consideration comes from a self-declared Trump voter and nurse who appears to be shocked and appalled that President Donald Trump would “disrespect our profession.”

“Please remove the limitations of professions!” a self-described nurse wrote on a Facebook put up from Trump, in response to a screenshot circulating on X.

“As a PROFESSIONAL nurse who has her Masters Degree and as someone who voted each time for you, I cannot believe that you would disrespect our profession!”

She went on to say that she has one daughter about to finish her education to be a bodily therapist and one other planning on turning into a doctor’s assistant, each of that are being excluded from the listing {of professional} levels.

“All of which take care of patients on a daily basis,” she continued. “Grad school is very expensive….trust me I know! I have paid my way myself for each level of my education. Please reconsider your thoughts on this bill. We all need professional staff that can afford education in their effort to care for our nation.”

Proponents of nursing and different levels being overlooked of “professional” classification have provided loads of explanation why it’s truly an excellent factor, from stopping individuals from going deeper into debt for fields that aren’t high-earning to claiming that it’ll truly power the price of schooling to go down.

But outdoors of that debate itself, there’s one other degree of frustration with these like Hines who voted for Trump and at the moment are appearing stunned that he’s turning out to be precisely the individual everybody else warned them he was.
