I agree completely and have no idea how any woman could support Trump. I
sat behind two women on the train, one black and one white. They both
supported Trump and talked loudly about the fact that women should not be
leaders - it says so in the Bible. They thought Trump was a successful
businessman and would bring jobs back to their rural communities because he
understands business and trade and how all of that works. Trump supports
coal and will reopen the mines and put people back to work. I'm afraid they
are going to be in for a very rude awakening after voting their hero into
office.
