You are spot on! Just unfriended three long distance relatives this week. Unbelievable gyrations to spin what he's doing! Guess you can't fix stupid.

It's either Trump's a genius trapping the libs, or the "deep state" is out to get him.

I learned not to argue with them because they are zombies, it is pointless. I will throw out zingers to them and then not respond further. Like when Trump gave billions of tax dollars to soy bean farmers who lost money because of Trump's tariffs. I simply asked them, what's the difference between giving our taxpayer dollars to people who use it to buy lobster and giving taxpayer dollars to farmers because their profits dropped? Lo and behold I was told it was wrong to give those farmers the money.

By the bye, they believe that it is just Democrats who use food stamps. We have a local meat market which is very popular and I tell them that I see a heck of a lot of people with MAGA hats on buying steaks with food stamps.

It's hard, but one has to learn how to talk to zombies.

Surrounded by trumphumpers....refuse to engage in any conversation with them. To me, they are every bit as horrible as him.

And the more wrong they are, the more convinced they are of how right they are.
