“Folks” is an example of old commie lingo. It tells you who he surrounded himself with.
Like his constant commie use of “workers”.
Although I always avoided hearing his jarring voice, during his first term he was interviewed on TV and I just happened to catch his saying something about Wall Street “fat cats.” My head snapped in a double-take because that was an expression clear out of the radical communist hand book.
I cringe whenever I hear the word folks.....
