I am at a loss, since she seems like a pretty rational person, but obviously only watches fox. I would love to give her a list of things, but I'm not sure if she would believe it.

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 last Amerian president who can take being "Leader of the Free World" for granted was Barack Hussein Obama.

Then ask him what he has against NATO.

Vets have priority in government hiring and make up (I think) about a 1/3 of the workforce.

He has damaged or standing in the world in several ways.

The immigration ban will hurt us economically.

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.

DT bilked taxpayers out of millions of dollars with his bankruptcies and corporate welfare...

that was just the beginning

&quot 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... (he)has also won benefits that cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Florida...

Trump used his company as a means of transferring his personal debt load onto shareholders, issuing rounds of junk bonds to build up cash that would erase his own debts. "Even as his companies did poorly, Mr. Trump did well," the Times wrote. "He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others
