"Why ain't there more people defending Trump"

This is a statement, I heard tonight while waiting line to get paperwork for my next load! I did not have to say anything! There was a young African American man working at this shipper. His comment was perfect, "why should I defend him, all he has every done was, insult me, my heritage, my beliefs, and most of all, he insulted the President of United Sates". He went on to say to them(while they stood there in awe) "while Trump was making money and so called sacrifices, he, himself was fighting for our freedom". Then he finished with "say again, why are there not more people who will defend Trump"? They were bewildered and stood in silence the rest of the time. After they got there paper and left, I got up to window, shook the young man's hands and said "thank you for you service". I had to laugh, he had a smirk on his face, as I was leaving, knowing that, he felt proud.

I've been hearing more stories like this. I like the isolation of these people. I like the thought they are burning out to the point of being erased from polite conversation.

He's "a Florida man." I'm just a pointy headed New England elist. 50,000 people showed up at the Trump rally in Tallahassee...he showed me the picture of the Cleveland Cav's celebration as proof.
