Both of my parents were involved in politics. My mother also liked to follow the new and read extensively. She took the sad events hard. Going back to the John F. Kennedy assassination, I can picture her in her chair crying. I partially grew up in Newtown, CT. until I left for college. I was grateful my mother didn't have to know about the terrible tragedy of the children and teachers losing their lives because of a lunatic. I believe both of my parents would love Trump.

You are so right about news. It isn't presented with the professional decorum as it was in the past. The individuals expressing their own opinions and bias make it difficult to discern fact from fiction.

How amazing your grandson follows Trump on Twitter! You've no doubt influenced his interest in politics.

There are really only TWO ways that children turn out the way they do...they either accept and like what their parents/grandparents exposed them to and liked, or they rebel and decide to go the opposite way. You and I and my progeny fall into the first category; happily.

The kiddos were here all last week and I was truly SHOCKED, when my grandson told me that he followed Trump on TWITTER. I had NOTHING at all to do with that one. LOL

I'm guessing that his parents may have had a hand in that, as they do talk politics and he sometimes hears the news, because it's on, when he gets home from camp or school.

OTOH, when he was a toddler, we taught him to blow raspberries, whenever he heard Obama's name. hehehehehehe

My mother was a BIG DEAL in the GOP Women's Club ( she also was a poll watcher and worked on many different political campaigns, which she sometimes took me too ) and THE best political debater I have EVER seen in action....bar none.
