This past weekend I ran into a Trump supporter that I knew.   

I asked him how his man was doing?   

His response was that he wished Trump would keep his mouth shut.

I thought to myself, “Why did he say this when that is how he got elected?”

Weak-minded people were entertained by his off the cuff antics. Trump still must be thinking he is entertaining his supporters. I think he is right, because they all seam to be sticking with him, even though the indications are he is going to be impeached.

I also mentioned that I couldn’t understand why anyone would vote for a person who would say they could walk down Times Square and shoot someone and they wouldn’t lose a vote for president. Talk about an ego. He really must think he is God. 

I then asked him why he voted for Trump. He said he couldn’t vote for Hillary. I asked him “Why not?” His response was it was because of her emails. I then asked him who got hurt by her emails? I got no response.

I mentioned someone has to get killed or the tax payers suffer because of some action a politician takes that should be held against them — like when George W. Bush lied to the American people, saying he had inside information that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Everyone believed him, because who would doubt that an American president would lie to us?

I then said I was disappointed in the Democratic party for letting George slide on that one. No other president has ever hurt this country more than George W. Bush on that lie.

Other responses I have heard were that they couldn’t vote for Hillary because of her involvement with that Benghazi embassy. Now everyone knows she was interrogated for 11 hours straight by some independent prosecutors and they couldn’t find anything on her. I know if I were cross examined for 11 hours straight I would admit to being a murderer just to get the heck out of there. 

I believe these Trump supporters are still living on a string of hope that Trump is going to come up with something to turn everyone’s mind around.

I want everyone to know I am still bragging. I didn’t vote for Trump.
