84. It's lack of knowing who Trump is

Most of these folks know Trump only from his stint on Celebrity Apprentice. They have no idea of his backstory about what kind of a POS he really is.

Case in point: my wife's best friend and her step-sister she grew up with are both Trump supporters. They're both great people. I adore them. They are caring, loving individuals, and this absolutely has me perplexed. When her bestie and her husband came in town to visit, we had a small chat about The Donald. She told me we needed a businessman as president. Although it was fair comment, I told her 'but not THIS businessman'. We all got a laugh out of it.

After giving her reasons why he's been known as a POS throughout the decades, I told her that's not a very good example of leadership to pass along to our children. She really didn't say anything to say after that. She has 3 of them.
