I’m going back and forth with a guy I used to work with. He’s a Trumpet (and I can’t express my disappointment it that.) We reassured each other from the beginning that we still like each other, so I think we both soften our punches.
Anyway, he said something about Hillary being non-productive. I laughed and said, “Well, I do think Trump WILL be “productive,” from his POV, anyway. He’ll get to work trying to find a way to wipe out all government finances, in every account, and find an excuse to wipe out all citizen’s finances, and ship the funds to an unmarked, offshore bank in the Cayman islands. If that’s not productive I don’t know what is! I mean, that would be the ultimate!
Well, he actually took me seriously, LOL! He said “Wow, that was about the most twisted thing I have ever read. Do more research before you post things like that! Do you mind if I share this on my page for others to see?”
I said, “No, because it was a joke. It was a gross over-exaggeration.
But what you CAN share is that he is running for president for whatever financial gain HE can get from it. He is NOT running to better the lives of the citizens of the United States.
He has 0 moral compass, and 0 empathy. He could care less what happens to the rest of us as long as he comes out ahead.
He has lived his WHOLE LIFE that way. He has no regrets, no guilt. Why would anyone think he’d change now? Why would anyone think he’d do anything but abuse the system for his own personal, financial gain?”
There was no more talk of sharing after that.
And it just floors me that he would take what would be obvious to most as extreme sarcasm literally.
