(521 posts)39. Come on,
Come on, SeaDoo77, tell us how you REALLY FEEL about Pres. Trump!
My own father was an immigrant a very long time ago. Fled Tsarist Russia, arrived in NYC not knowing a word of English. Worked all his life. Went to school - all the way to a Master's Degree in English. Made a career of teaching other immigrants, usually from the Caribbean and Central America. Trump doesn't realize how America benefits by taking in people from wretched places who dream of a better life for themselves and their posterity.

You don't have to be an immigrant to feel like crying over this. It's a sad, sad day for America.

Oh hell, you think Norway wants his ass? Norwegians are way too smart to let that creep in.

Can you please just tell her to consider the source? That should really settle everything.

Very moving. Hope she knows that millions do not think that way. He's a Nazi. nt
