Out of the mouths of babes. . .

Last week, my 8 year old granddaughter invited an Hispanic classmate over to play at our house. When they walked in, I was watching MSNBC and 45 was on the television. The little girl stared at the screen for a few moments, then said, "I don't like Donald Trump." Caught off-guard, I asked her why. She replied, matter-of-factly, "He hates us and wants to send us back to Mexico."

I didn't know what to say. After an awkward pause, the girls turned and headed off to my granddaughter's room to play. Imagine having to grow up in a country thinking your president hates you. It almost made me want to cry.

But I'm too old to cry. . .

Fuck Trump and anyone who supports him!!!
