Many Tea Party members are “older” (pre-retirement, retired) who are very concerned about the life their children and grandchildren will live in America. They were driven to act because America is in deep financial trouble right now. Could it be that Trump, given his large family and the importance he gives to being a good parent, is being driven by the same concerns this time? [In effect - Trump’s link to the Tea Party]
When did Trump first join the Tea Party? Does anyone know?
