OS generally does not participate in 'viral sharing'--but for this, he makes the exception. Five credible, moving minutes about the Trump family. It speaks for itself.
OS voted for Trump in the Tennessee primary, seems like an eternity ago. Not out of affection for the man, but because OS took some business trips, and encountered perfect strangers willing to talk about their lives.
Two in particular come to mind--one a young man working in a family business in the Northeast that has been extant since the 1870's, and now struggles against the headwinds of a government, tax system, social decay, and economy brought about over the past 25 years by leadership of BOTH parties. He's thirty, and wonders how they will survive.
The second was a chauffer--hotel to airport, in his 60's, an emigre from Africa from the early 80's. He has spent his career driving limos, and now owns a piece of the firm. Two children, born and raised here. One child graduates MBA from a major East Coast university, the second entering med school at an Ivy League school. He is so proud of them, parented them to be Americans. Sez he: 'Children, it's great you have your African heritage, but THIS is your country. You are Americans!!' A question posed about all the illegal immigration brought a disdainful response--he had gone about things properly, has no respect for the gate-crashers.
OS isn't a Trump 'fan', per se. But only The Donald speaks directly to the heart of the issues that we must face, and speaks for these people encountered on the road.
Last night, the subject came up with friends, who have a child in a military career. The Dad sez, 'You may disagree, but I'm voting for Trump. He's the only one who will value my child's life in the military, and gives us the best odds of the kid coming home to us in one piece.'
Now, take five minutes--decide for yourself.
