How in hell does trump* ever expect to win Michigan?

Seriously. The demographic that is most likely to be harmed, ok, KILLED by his attempts to cut Michigan from the medical supply chain are the demographic that likely contains most of his Michigan supporters - in the mid to late 'boomer' generation, and whatever the heck little nickname applies to the WWII babies.

And, of course, this doesn't just apply to Michigan.

This is just too exhausting.

Most elderly are "greatest generation"... right?

Never see anything negative about trump. They are spoon fed a diet of propaganda that can only be refuted by a healthy dose of curiosity that would be too bothersome for them to try and understand.
