You know, I understand the need to post this here, but it will mostly fall on deaf ears.
These guys are brainwashed and nothing you can say or post will change their minds.
These guys remind me of my late brother who was the most stubborn man I've ever known, and if you ever called him out on it he'd reply:
"Stubborn? You've never seen stubborn. I'll show you stubborn." And then the argument would escalate until he'd walk out and it would be over until the next day when he'd come in like nothing ever happened. He passed away in 2007, but I think, after being his business partner for 25 years, he'd be a Trumpoid through and through. I remember him coming in to work and asking if anyone saw The Apprentice last night and how great the show was. It was Trump this and Trump that. Even back then I couldn't stand watching a minute of Trump, I knew he was a charlatan, a grifter, and a misogynist . His personality is very similar to my brother's. I don't know if our partnership would have survived the past four years if he was still alive. We used to get into heated arguments and I couldn't believe the difference 14 years of age made between us. As the younger partner I always backed down to keep things running smoothly and for the sake of my parents, but under the surface and hidden from most people he was a real asshole, just like Trump. He did have one more wife than Trump and she, who was just as stubborn, took my family to the cleaners after he died. We all felt she was definitely owed something, but after our significant offer she got a new lawyer, the whole mess took another 8 months, and the new high priced lawyer got her five grand more than I originally offered. Also cost her $35K extra in lawyer costs not to mention my increased legal costs.
Why tell this story? Just to show how "smart" she thought was. Just like all the Trumpoids on this forum.
