In reply to the discussion: I am really stumped why college educated/intelligent persons support Trump. [View all]global1
(25,242 posts)32. Ask Him To Educate You.....
Tell him maybe you're missing something about Trump and ask him to point out Trump's positives. Get him to tell you why he likes Trump. To get on his good side - tell him maybe you need to see Trump through his eyes.
J did this to one of my Trumper friends and he really couldn't explain himself. It didn't stop him from still liking Trump - but it made him stop and think and question himself. It put some doubt in his mind.
I'm hoping that with that doubt placed in his mind - he watches and listens to Trump and Fox with a different ear now. Maybe somewhere down the line - he'll be converted.
Sometimes that's all we can do.
