My neighbor the trump supporter [View all]

Last edited Fri May 12, 2017, 10:46 AM - Edit history (2)

my neighbor use to talk trump all time. But now I have noticed he will talk about normal subjects. Kids wives the flowers we planted college baseball. He has toned down on his enthusiasm on trump I hope this is happening nationwide. Since trump started running I have seen a rationale middle aged man turn into a trump groupie maybe he is pulling back.
