Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump has lost my 93 year old Dad. [View all]
He is a life long Republican.
He lives in a retirement housing area in Texas and yesterday he told me that he feels that Trump is throwing his aged people to the wolves. And he says this feeling is prevalent in their community. Many of them feel Trump is killing them to save his re-election possibilities.
These are older people in a red state and most are well over 75. Things are probably going this way elsewhere too.
