In reply to the discussion: My trump voting sister said to me, as I was educating her about her vote [View all]Frances
(8,588 posts)A woman who is on SSI and lives in subsidized housing told me that Trump was going to provide health insurance for everyone.
She said Trump is a good businessman. I told her that the voters in our city refused to return our mayor to office because he had not paid his sub-contractors and I wish more Americans had rejected Trump on those grounds alone.
But a really big issue is Russia. I told her that the reason Trump bad mouths China is that soon China (and India) will be the only large countries that Putin does not control. Putin has Trump in his pocket; he has gotten Britain out of the EU and is continuing to weaken the EU. Trump will help Putin destroy NATO.
Poor old FDR, Truman, and Ike must be wondering what all those soldiers in World War II died for.
I also told my friend that if Trump had been president instead of FDR, Trump would have "made a deal" with Hitler and we'd all be speaking German now. And instead of enjoying unparalleled prosperity after the war, we would have been a German colony with all our Jewish citizens exterminated. And, of course, all the intellectuals and liberals and gays exterminated as well.
I was paying the woman to cut my hair so she didn't have much choice about listening to my rant.
But such ignorance from someone who has so much to lose from a Trump presidency.
