9. The quote below is what irritates me most.

Despite all this, Ledgerwood still supports Trump’s presidency, but tells Rampbell that “if I lose my lawyer and my services, I may feel a little differently.”

The simple selfishness of the average Trump supporter is astounding. While many of the policies that Trump's administration will not negatively affect me or my family that strongly, my concern is for people who need that extra help to get by, to get some security during difficult times, to simply live. I think about people in my extended family, people I know and work with, but I also think about people I don't know, who I will never meet. I think about how a society that takes care of each other looks versus one where the primary idea is to take care of number 1.

After knowing what policy proposals supported by Trump will do and have done to him, this guy STILL supports him. Not until after his life is almost literally destroyed "MAY" this man feel "A LITTLE" differently.
