I just don't believe the story. Nobody in the world would be stunned if Trump treated them like crap, because he's done it to so many people that supported him over the years.

insert "leopards ate my face party" reference here.

This irks me a bit too.

Once in a while, I see a short video clip of "Why I'm not voting for Trump this time". They give some good reasons - narcissism, brash rudeness, looking out for himself, etc. Of course, I salute people for having their moment of introspection. But what annoys me is, none of their reasons were less true in 2016 - and few of them ever really say they themselves changed in the intervening span.

Goalpost one is to stop supporting the guy. I'm glad for people that hit that. Goalpost two is to realize a reasonable person never should've supported him. Perhaps that's a lot for some people.

Oh but surely those people had said something to get such an aggressive response or they weren't actual supporters in the first place, some were probably leftist moles, not me though, I support him, he will fix the US! /s
