Recently, I had the displeasure of attending a conference as an observer that turned into a Trump-bashing session. The conference was primarily attended by retired State and Federal employees. In closing the session, the moderator announced that he hoped there weren’t any “Trumpers” in the room, but if there is one, stand up and be counted! I usually fly under the radar on these occasions, but I had enough and said, “Right here, there is at least one.” All the usual nonsensical Democrat arguments had preceded: he’s a jackass, he’s a convicted felon, he’s a rapist, he’s anti-gay, he’s anti-abortion, he wants to drill everywhere, he’s going to destroy the environment, he’s going to start a war, he wants to invade Greenland, he’s going to pardon all the January sixers, yadayadayada. How can anyone in their right mind support him? They were rabid. So, in other words, they don’t like him personally, I ger that, but the fictional embellisment? So in rebuttal I offered ,so many words: It is the economy, people! Some of us in the private sector and owners of small businesses are getting taxed out of existence and facing unsustainable regulations, and we don’t have the benefit of state and federal pensions with built-in cost of living increases. Do you want to know where my retirement subsidy comes from? You’are looking at him. The expression on their faces told me I was persons non grata. Oh, well, I gave it a shot.
