48. I'm not a troll and I despise Trump

Sat Jul 23, 2016, 08:16 AM

Jul 2016

to the marrow of my bones, but this isn't a thing for me. My dad used to hug and touch my arms, pat me on the tush occasionally like he did when I was a kid, when he was in his nineties and me in my sixties. I wish he were still around to give me those hugs whenever we met. He never abused me as a child, and I never thought his pats were anything other than a dad showing normal affection to his daughter.

I did think Trumps verbal remarks re. Ivanka were pretty creepy, though. My dad would never have spoken like that.
