OPINION: To my Trump-supporting friends, rich and poor

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : After all, Trump himself told us about Putin's "genius" in invading Ukraine and his own plans to facilitate Ukraine's surrender to him.
49% : Do you think Elon Musk or Rupert Murdoch care about your wages or health care? Democrats, on the other hand, have given you health care protections for pre-existing conditions, child care tax credits, fixed drug costs, job-building legislation promoting the new American chip industry, protections for Social Security and Medicare and the rebuilding of American infrastructure, an unfulfilled promise from the Trump years.
47% : You believe him when he says Harris is a Marxist, a vice president who has presided over a post-pandemic economy that is the envy of the world, lifted out of the ditch Trump left it in, with a stock market at unimaginable highs.
45% : My friends, the poor Trumpists, While I can understand the motivating principles of the rich in supporting Trump, I struggle with understanding support from the middle class and poor.
42% : Another tough pill for Reagan-era Republicans to accept in the time of Trump is the former President's obvious alliance with Vladimir Putin.
39% : Trump has made the GOP the party that supports world dictators, not the freedoms of a democratic Europe.
29% : But Trump killed that.
26% : I know you consider Trump a classless, amoral grifter, who, after all, drove many of his own businesses into bankruptcy.
24% : Many of you really believe Trump when he says the vice president is stupid.
22% : Can you imagine your conservative selves 20 years ago supporting a candidate who exploded the deficit like Trump did while in office?
