Today I met a regretful Trump voter [View all]

We were swimming in the ocean and this fellow and his wife struck up a conversation with us. A very friendly guy. He's an American citizen living in Panama and his comments were striking.

"I feel Trump lied to me."
"He never said he was going to break the U.S. government."
"When did he become a fan of tariffs?"
"Trump sold us a bill of goods."
"My portfolio is in the shitter."
"I never expected him to be so stupid."
"I wish he would die already."

I politely told him that many people were in the "Find Out" phase and Vance wouldn't be any better. He laughed then said, "Still, things are better than if THAT WOMAN had won."

Hopeless. I just shook my head.
