Trump’s supporters embarrass me

Oh, so embarrassing! My age group – over 65 – as a majority approving of Donald Trump!

I have long thought Trump was a sociopath, egotistical, civic cheater (tax write-offs), etc., but he is only one sick man. The really scary people were his followers – people who could forgive the insults to the Gold Star family, women, handicapped – they are so profoundly sickening as they moronically shout “lock her up” and this is my age group.

I am so embarrassed I want to hide in a cellar somewhere. Please, rest of America, not all seniors are as senile and sick as that group is. Give us a chance!
