44. Cut her loose, explain why, and move on.

I've cut so many people out of my life over this issue that I've lost count.

However, you may think differently than I do. You may feel that she has good traits that override this issue. If that's the case, then I would put more thought into my decision.

Personally however, I attempt to have no relationships at all with Trumpers.

Make the decision that feels right to you, and best of luck whatever you decide.

I'd tell her that if anyone has reason to fear God, it's Trump. Mister Ed Apr 2020 #1
