A decline in foreign visitors traveling to the United States has stretched well into the summer. And tourism experts say the downward trend that emerged after President Donald Trump returned to the White House shows no immediate signs of reversing.
In the first Trump term, did he ever intimate why he was a supporter in no uncertain terms?
An acquaintance of an acquaintance of mine, who was a MAGAt, said “it takes someone with some dirt on him to take down the dirty.” He is now against Trump due to the Epstein debacle. We were in our mid 30s then.
I’m casually interested in the reasoning process people use to convince themselves that it’s acceptable to support someone like a Donald Trump.
I forget exactly, but he never believed anything negative about Trump was true. He just assumed the media was lying. In his mind Trump could do no wrong.
I don’t know and I’m not sure he’s ready to admit he was wrong, so I’m not bringing it up. Our political debates are typically heated, so I’m enjoying the peace.
But, he works in sales with manufacturers and I think he saw how the tariffs are going to mess things up.
I think a lot of younger people voted for Trump thinking he would follow through on his promises.
It seems Ohio already is is expected to lose a seat in the next election.
Also his immigration policy has been hugely unpopular.
My dad was a big Trumper last time around. He would bring up Trump all the time. He has not said anything about him for the past few months.
So, I think the tides are changing.
Just curious, is he still working or is he retired?
Still working

Aha, I see. Thanks for sharing. I suppose I’m curious about “what broke his back” and why he’s silent about Trump now, as you’ve indicated before.
Just pure curiosity only my part; no obligation to respond at all.

Then the Epstein thing compounded that, I think.
Gotcha. Well, he ain’t alone in that, I suppose. Again thanks for sharing!
