As I was eating breakfast at a truck stop...... [View all]

Fox News was on the TV. The statement on the scroll stated that Obama changed his position on deportation when he was president. One of the guys setting at another table says “see Trump isn’t as bad as Obama”! I simply said “what Trump is doing is illegal and irrationals”. The guy asked why? I said “because Obama deported criminals and Trump is trying to be a dictator, deporting as many as they can”. The guy turned pale and said that I was a hater. I replied “if you say so, but before you call me a hater, you might want to check your own self in a mirror”. He gave me a dirty look, but never utter another word!

Oh how thee is so stupid to believe in a criminal dictator.
