Arnett believes millennials disapprove of Trump’s job performance because of a generational difference. “America is not and has never been the best country in the world,” she said. Wheaton, though, believes the best part of the millennial generation is that they’ve continued to speak up. “The decisions made now affect our whole futures, so I personally never let anyone tell me to sit down on these issues.” Attleboro resident Courtney Houseman said she was raised to respect her elders and considers most of the millennial generation to have a lack of respect for older leaders in the country, including Trump. At age 18, she registered as a Republican, and now 25, she works, has two children, is married and has purchased her own home. Growing up, Salgueiro and his parents were independent, but he registered as a Democrat to run for political office. King echoes Salgueiro’s views, saying he hopes other millennials can respect his opinions about the president. No matter what, Salgueiro said he believes there are great opportunities in America that allow almost every citizen the chance of success.
