Again, esp. as one from NYC, not small town Indiana, MT, WV, etc. And world traveled, in the entertainment and hotel business, with three young adult children. Comes from a conservative world maybe and has become more so, unlike the way he was in the 80s. I don't fully get it, but so it is.

A news anchor said this past week that tRump and those who think like him and are his age, gender, and ethnicity see their world disappearing and they can't/won't face change and globalization. He has gotten older, fatter and balder and that is just the beginning of his narcissistic meltdown mentally.

from Germany and Scotland! Your mother left Scotland to come here since she was having economic hardships and came here for a chance to have a better life. Your grandfather left Germany in the middle of the night, leaving a note to his mom, to evade the draft. When he tried to return years later they wouldn't let him back in! Google your own family history you fucking hypocrite!!!!!
