27. Trumper free zone

Sat Sep 21, 2019, 08:25 AM

Sep 2019

For me if you support Trump than you have no place in my life. You're out. You can not be a good person if you condone the behavior and actions of the orange horror that squats in the people's house. I have 7 reasons to feel this way and they are my seven grandkids all under the age of 15. I am fighting for their future in this country and on this planet. I have no hesitation when it comes to shutting out people from my life if I think their beliefs and votes will affect the 7 kids I love so so much.
