Gross overstatement. From speaking with many winery owners in California, their support of Trump was solid even before the election. Same for a whole array of companies in that area. If there was no so much confidence in Trump from the business community, the Dow Jones IA would not be where it is today. Imagine breaking 25,000 for the first time in history.

btw , the people you talk with are probably just projecting their own mental impairments on Pres. Trump.

Yeah, who are all of these people in Kansas City who are intimate with Trump? As far as business owners go, doubt it unless they own some type of environmental-related business or they hire a lot of cheap foreign labor.

This single mother must have been in a coma during those eight years. Everyone I know is doing a whole lot better than the were when Obama took the oath of office.

As to her huge blessing, she may want to see how the feathers settle with those tax cuts and insurance rates before she starts singing hallelujah.

not being Hillary is about my top 1000 reasons to have voted for and supportive of Donald John Trump.

No, all he did was turn a dying economy around, one where more people were losing jobs and homes than any time, except for the great depression. If you think he didn't do it, I guess it happened on it's own.

Most of the open Trump supporters I see are in restaurants being served my Mexicans or having their lawn mowed by Mexicans.

Trump supporters are a hypocritical bunch.

President Trump haters hate him all the time, but more so when his administration has helped our country . . just goes to validate they "KNOW" he's doing an outstanding job and it terrifies them.
