Our 88-year-old neighbor just called to ask for a ride for tomorrow. Of course, we agreed to take her. She is upset but said that she is so glad that Trump is in charge so that this type of thing would be fixed.

I hope she starts paying attention, but if your neighbor has been used to getting told what to do most of her life, it might be be difficult for her to understand what's going on.
Which is a problem with a lot of US citizens who should know better.

(17,190 posts)Could your neighbor maybe be confused?
There could be many reasons why they had to cancel transport.
In any case, I am glad you are taking her.

Texasgal
(17,190 posts)to do with Trump... I'd say she's a bit confused.
If she's sharp, she should definitely be concerned about Abbott and his buddies.
