Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have friends and family who continue to believe that Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I still love them. They are either confused, or they share his twisted view of a “new America,” but they are good people who I hope will someday accept facts which offer them undeniable truth.
