(2,176 posts)It was obvious to me that he is completely in for trump and he has exposed himself as hating women's power and blacks. He won't unfollow my page, which I suggested since it bothered him and he felt he had to respond. Maybe some day in the future we can be civil again, but if he had been this way for the first 20 years I knew him I wouldn't have become friends with him. He retired and for some reason became the traditional trump supporter, we have nothing in common now. Don't even try to engage these types, it is like (excuse me but in the old days it was called) jacking them off. They get to spew their memes and epithets and act superior while sounding terribly uninformed. Just my opinion of course.

The border wall likewise would hurt us economically and is really a sick ruse of his supporters.
Here is a running list of his lies.

that was just the beginning
" Trump's) first big Manhattan deal was to renovate the Hyatt at Grand Central Station. For that project, he got a forty-year fullproperty-tax incentive, which cost taxpayers $60 million (presumably not adjusted for inflation) in the first ten years alone, according to the paper...
