President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s term in office has been far from smooth, and it’s safe to say his performance has been well below many people’s expectations.
Today, it seems Indonesian Twitter users have had enough of Jokowi. The hash tag #sudahlahjokowi (give it up, Jokowi) has become the number 1 trending topic in Jakarta, as well as all of Indonesia.
We’re not sure what initially sparked the topic, but looking at people’s tweets, it seems they are dissatisfied with Jokowi’s presidency for a wide variety of reasons:
Your subordinates insult you, you no longer have wisdom, foreign media makes fun of you #SudahlahJokowi you’re tired
He caused thousands to be laid off domestically and then he brings in thousands of foreign workers
Very disappointed… In the presidential elections he was amazing but the result is unsatisfactory
Rupiah is weakening against the Dollar… Ahh #SudahlahJokowi
Do you agree that Jokowi should give it up, or should he be given more time to turn things around?
