Lunch with a Trump fan

25. I feel your pain

I was in school in 1998/99, and having no car had to rely on a friend to hitch a ride from.

Unfortunately we were just about on opposite ends of the political spectrum (he was a nice guy; but being a doctor's boy had made him quite the snob). It goes without saying that he felt Clinton was a closeted commie, and deserved everything that was coming to him.

The fact that he had signed NAFTA (which was still popular among the right at the time) and welfare reform, that Poppy Bush's massive deficits had been turned into surpluses, and that the private sector was roaring made no difference to him. Faux News and hate radio said he was a commie, so it must be so.

Fortunately, I got a sweet deal on a new Chevy a few months later - so end of story.
