It won't help him professionally. He is screwed and Trump screwed him. His child's well being is being threatened. His life is in upheaval as his wife struggles to pay the bills on her earnings as a hairdresser in a hair salon.

I wonder what our handyman, Mike, thinks about Trump now... [View all] CTyankee Aug 2025 OP

He's thinking whatever they want him to think probably Blues Heron Aug 2025 #1

Hard to think straight when half of your business is wiped out that you worked so hard to build. CTyankee Aug 2025 #2

That will be the last thing he thinks, most con victims will do anything but admit they were conned Blues Heron Aug 2025 #3

Or will he twist it around to make it all the Dems fault? CTyankee Aug 2025 #5

He'll just blame Biden, immigrants, Democrats - like Fox tells him to. MrsCheaplaugh Aug 2025 #13

I'm beginning to think it is his church. I had never heard of it but my guess is it is Evangelical. CTyankee Aug 2025 #14

He won't care WmChris Aug 2025 #40

Of course, but he is a local guy and works locally so he knows what people can/can't afford. He's not a faceless CTyankee Aug 2025 #41

I'll tell you what he's thinking: "THANKS, OBAMA!!!" hatrack Aug 2025 #4

Mike doesn't think or he would've shared your excitement about kamala SheltieLover Aug 2025 #6

Was he silent because he's a Trump voter or silent because he doesn't get personal with clients? WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2025 #7

My guess it was because he was never gonna vote for a Dem, much less a woman Dem. Maybe it was religious, I dunno. CTyankee Aug 2025 #10

Actually the tariff on Canadian soft-wood lumber is 14.54%... the same as it's been since 2024. WarGamer Aug 2025 #18

I don't know what "soft wood lumber" is? If it is what you'd build a ramp with, then I do know what it is. CTyankee Aug 2025 #20

softwood trees include conifers... pine, fir, cedar, redwood... WarGamer Aug 2025 #21

"Softwoods" generically means conifers, as noted above. . . hatrack Aug 2025 #43
