Martin Schram: A MAGA gift for our friends

This holiday season let’s try to bring a little comfort and joy to our close friends who are feeling disheartened and disillusioned.

They realize now that they have been repeatedly disappointed by someone they truly trusted for years. And now we can give these friends a special gift by helping them find a worthy, and much more trustworthy, successor. And in the spirit of the season, we need to make sure the gift we give doesn’t come wrapped in political lectures and tied with ribbons of I-told-you-sos.

So please don’t remind those good friends that they twice voted for Donald Trump. And they won’t come back at you about Benghazi and Hillary’s emails and Hunter’s big bucks. Besides, I’ve always understood why so many Americans fervently voted twice for Trump. He was the only one who they felt really wanted to be talking to folks like them. So they believed him when he said he alone could fix our problems. And when he said they’d be bored with all the winning.
