I have a sister that I love who voted for Orange Ass. Only reason she ever told me was she thought he’d lower her taxes. She’s all about hating to pay taxes. I suspect that a lot of trump voters don’t like him but may vote for him again because either they don’t want immigrants or they are anti abortion or they think a Dem president will take their guns away.
