Do you personally trust Trump supporters??

I cannot imagine how anyone could support such a person. I cannot separate "politics" from the person. I could not justify the actions and words of such a racist.

What does it say about someone that supports Trump? Is is nothing more than a different political opinion? Or is it something more? Am I being too judgemental?

Can someone lacking so much in cognitive skills be trusted in any type of relationship?

Could you trust someone that supports Trump to be a true friend?

People have good as well as bad sides. We all do.

I've always disagreed with them on politics, so it's nothing new. I trust them in the contexts of my relationship with them, but when it comes to policitcs we disagree.

Politics aren't everything you know. I know people who are Republicans that I would kill or die for and Democrats whom I'd leave to the wolves.

Friendship and family goes beyond political philosophy.

When I first met her a couple of years ago she was welcoming and nice to me and we became friends. We work at different clinics, but I fill in at her clinic from time to time. I'm working there next week from Tues. through Fri. I'm dreading it. I have lost all respect for her. I'm hoping they've called me over there to work for her, that maybe she's the one taking off. Fingers crossed.
