Heartbreaking on so many levels. Trump has torn many families apart and no, he does not tell it like it is. I'm sorry your mother feels that way.

I think we all may have relatives that we have distanced ourselves from just in order to keep our serenity. Facts don't matter to a lot of people.

It's too bad that your mother doesn't realize she has an awesome son. That was a very touching post and you are so right in the fact that who we support says so much about us as a person. Thank you for sharing this.
