I didn't watch the fucking speech. But I got emails from a couple of old friends who are retired teachers, and they were livid at trump's comment. I know for a fact that both these friends were in the habit of buying school supplies for poor kids from their limited salaries, over the years. The colossal nerve of that selfish, clueless prick, stating that our education system is somehow awash with money. I didn't think I could hate him to a greater degree---but he made it possible.
