Well isn’t that just typical of the fake
news? All The Times cares to do is
identify Trump traitors; they don’t care to look for those voters who didn’t
vote for Trump but now support him. Voters like:
David
Butler of Skokie, Illinois
“Honestly, I wasn’t that crazy about
Donald Trump in the beginning. Although I liked his idea of the Mexican border
wall, for the most part I didn’t see his views really jiving with mine. That
is, until last month when he came out with some tacit support for us white
supremacists. He could have taken the easy road and condemned us and the
neo-Nazis outright but he didn’t. As I see it, he sent a subtle message to me
and my friends to hang in there and fight the good fight. Heck, I’m not asking
him to secretly send us all a free white sheet but I do appreciate his efforts
and you can now count me as a big Donald Trump fan.”
Arthur
J. Harris III of New York City
“I’ve been an investment banker almost my
entire adult life so I was somewhat familiar with Donald Trump as a kind of
clown-like figure on the New York City real estate development scene. He wasn’t
the best of the lot but he probably wasn’t the worst either. Last year, I
actually voted for Hillary Clinton because of all her Wall Street ties. But,
honestly, I have to say that I’ve changed my mind completely. That Trump fellow
has really impressed me with all his talk of repealing Obamacare and cutting
taxes for folks like me. Some say his proposed measures are shortsighted and
will only hurt the economy but all I know is that they’re sure as hell going to
help my bottom line. MAGA is now my personal motto.”
Rick
Fenster of Alexandria, Virginia
“As a career member of the Secret Service,
I generally try to remain politically neutral. After all, my job is to protect
the President whoever he may be. But I have to say I’ve recently found a bit of
motivation to throw my support behind Mr. Trump. Given all the trips he and his
family make to Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties, I’m earning overtime pay
like crazy. I don’t know if Trump can make America great again but I know he’s
sure going to make our backyard great again since I can now finally afford to
put in that new deck and in-ground pool.”
Tex
Lister of Nogales, Arizona
“I’ve never been much of a political guy,
at least until now. As for the last presidential election, I didn’t even vote.
It just seemed like so much noise that I never got interested and, heck, I
didn’t even register. But after the election, I had what my wife called an
epiphany. I thought maybe that was a cancerous growth on my neck but it turns
out it means I kind of saw the light for the first time. And that light is that
my business in southern Arizona dealing in concrete, stones and wall-mounted
solar panels is about to take off big time thanks to President Trump. If he
proceeds with his plan for a Mexican border wall, I’m in line to get a whole
lot of contracts. Trump supporter? You betcha!”
Kellyanne
Conway of Washington, D. C.
“I guess I don’t really count as someone
who voted for Donald Trump and then changed her mind. After all, I’ve done quite
well by the fellow if I do say so myself. On the other hand, if I’m being
honest (and, heaven knows, I always try to be honest), I didn’t always care for
the fellow. In fact, prior to him getting the Republican nomination, I actually
worked for Ted Cruz and spent a lot of my time coming up with nasty insults to
throw at Mr. Trump. But, hey, that’s all water under or over the bridge as they
like to say in Houston and, at least for now, count me as one big enthusiastic
Trump supporter unless, of course, somebody pulls a “Bannon” on me.”
