My elder brother loves Trump - because if it always about the money. He really doesn’t have any empathy for anyone (except his kids) as long as he perceives there is something in it for him. I once told him that there were a number of German Jews that supported Hitler and they ended up in the Camps.

A long-time friend and I are working on his younger brother (70 years old) who loves the elimination of waste and fraud. He’s in Tennessee (what can I say), and after about an hour we shared with him that we loved him and why would he take the word from MAGA folks/Donald Trump over the two of us that have been with him all life. Been over six hours since we heard from him.
I suspect with Donald, it is that false masculinity that he projects on TV whereas my friend & brother would call him a punk if they had a chance to meet him.
