They think Trump is a good negotiator. They watch Fox all the time too. Mom's 78 and my step-dad is in his early 80s. I really hate Fox. What a disaster they have been for our country. I can't convince my parents of what a horrible person Trump is, even though he stepped right up the hot mic with the cameras rolling and told us all directly to our faces what a jack-ass he is.

(this is our new salute I suppose)
