Are any of you seeing angry and irritable Trump supporters at work?

I ran into a couple, in NYC no less, who are livid that the media is being cruel to Trump.

I sense visceral anger in them towards the media -- I really wish I could make them direct that anger towards Trump and GOP. Just needs a shift of perspective.

We'll get there.

"Fitness" being a few minutes on a treadmill, then sitting in the lounge with coffee and conversation. Retirement is great!

Everyone here volunteered for the job, so you know where their hearts are. No Trumpster in the country would want to help the disadvantaged. So the office is a Trump-free zone.

I seldom, if ever, run into someone that doesn't support Trump. I cannot understand how we got to this point. Just nasty.

At least that's what they say when I ask them how they feel about Herod the Great.

They aren't over shit. They just can't justify any of this.

Even caught one of them making fun of Trump a couple of days ago. It's not outrage, but it marked some sort of change.
