    My boss, who as far as I can tell, still supports Trump, but is getting super pissed off. One of our suppliers in Canada wrote us a very earnest letter in mid January about how the upcoming tariffs were probably going to destroy his business, but he still wanted to be there to provide is excellent made in Canada parts. He said he would be forced to raise costs 25 percent on February 2nd. My boss got worried and put in 40-50 grand worth or orders that day to several of our Canadian suppliers, just for the Feb 2 to some around and Trump to say “sike!”. Now he is pissed that Trump is going to the Superbowl “how much is it going to cost us in taxes?”. His decisions to support trump are biting him where it really hurts: his wallet. It’s hard for me to remove the grin from my face.

      My wife has a business associate who went from drooling over Trump on Facebook to “OMG! He’s doing some horrible shit!” within the span of a week. The real irony? This guy is not white and is also Muslim. Literally the type of person that Republicans love to hate. I honestly don’t know what he was expecting to happen.

        Sometimes it pays to be “one of the good ones”. Too bad you have to pay too, with your soul.
