How, really, has Trump made his life better? Can he name anyone he knows personally whose life has been made better by Trump?

Does he realize that in a few years, the Trump tax cuts will end for everyone but the very wealthy?

Does he realize that many manufactured goods have become more expensive because of the "easily won" trade war with China? My son sells high-end flooring, and his sales have dropped because the material he sells is now too expensive even for the rich folks who are his customers. I recently bought an LG refrigerator; the price was about $500 higher than before the tariffs, according to the salesman--who is also a Trumper.

I've made a habit of asking these folks for details when they make these sweeping statements. I'm sure it won't change their minds, but at least for a few minutes they are embarrassed and will shut up.
