I spoke with a client this morning who is a Trump supporter [View all]
Trump didn't come up until I asked him how his facility is coping with the crisis. I had no illusions of the COVID-19 pandemic changing his support of Trump, but I did expect him to at least acknowledge the fact that Wall St has no confidence in Trump, which turned out not to even be an option since I wasn't able to move the conversation in that direction. When I said we'll probably be working into our 70s now that our 401K have been decimated, it was met with silence.
The most disturbing part of our conversation was the fact that he has absolutely no regard for the healthcare professionals, first responders, and workers in general who are putting their lives in danger to take care of the sick and to keep our lives as normal as possible by keeping the our food supply flowing.
His mindset is consists entirely of Trump handling this entire crisis on his own without any help from anyone.
It truly is a cult, they aren't even allowed to consider giving credit to anyone but their cult leader. I really wanted to lay into him with some cold hard reality, but I can't risk losing this company as a client over a lecture that will fall on deaf ears.
I really don't know what it will take to wake these people up.
It would have been less disturbing if he was your typical low IQ right wing idiot who does nothing but parrot Fox News, but he's really not, however it certainly has lowered my opinion of him significantly.
