Dear Trump Supporter-Part 2

Dear Trump Supporter,
 
Welcome to my blog where I’m trying to understand the world we live in. And why you are a fan of Donald Trump.
 
I saw something really interesting on the TV news the other night. It was amazing, actually. A PBS reporter at the Iowa State Fair was interviewing several Democratic presidential candidates and their supporters, and, in the spirit of fairness, he also interviewed a Trump supporter. This fellow being interviewed, “the Iowan” I’ll call him, seemed like a really nice person. You know, middle-American, middle class. He spoke well and seemed pretty intelligent. When he was asked about Donald Trump he said, “I like Donald Trump.” He paused and smiled. “He’s just a guy. He’s not a politician. He’s just a guy, a guy like me.”

Dear Trump Supporter,
 
Let’s have a conversation. You don’t know me, but I’m a writer of short fiction, and this is my blog. I grew up in the Midwest, and I had a good education but no advanced degrees or anything. I’m spending my retirement years trying to understand what’s happening to our world, and my writing helps me do that. And, through this blog, you can help me, too.
 
Maybe Donald Trump is a very nice person. Maybe if I met him, I’d fall under his spell. But I kind of doubt it. I could never have imagined when I was growing up that I’d have a president like Donald Trump.
