I was living in PA at the time of the election.
Most people in my company were Trump people.
"Barak is beloved of the people?" Could be a stretch.
There are three types of people. D's, P's and A's. Trump is definitely a D. He is confident and abrasive. The left wing are full of P's that think we can all sing Kumbaya and hold hands.
It takes a D to get the job done sometimes. Who else could deal with an A like Kim Jong In?
