1) In the parking lot of the grocery store, a MAGAT red cap dude was getting into his gigantic pick-up with Drumpf bumperstickers all over it, but when he saw me in my Navy ball cap, he ran over and stuck his hand out to shake and said the thank-you-service thing. And I said, "NO. TRUMP.' And he was shocked and went furious all over and yelled, "NO AMERICA FOR YOU!!!1"

2) Always at the grocery stores. me entering, an elderly (I'm elderly, too) exiting, him with the MAGAT cap. Same interaction. I said, "Don't tell me you're for that guy!" And he said, "He's a great man!1" And we passed each other by, but I turned and said, "He's a TRAITOR TO THE COUNTRY!" Both kept going.
