    Dee likes to defy categorization, but claims to be both libertarian and centrist. And he has been friends with Donald Trump for a long time, so his early support for Trump’s candidacy pissed off a lot of long-time fans. I think, but I could be wrong, that Snyder walked back his political support for Trump.

      A long time ago Trump was a liberal democrat. It’s why he has an unusual set of friends on both sides.

      The Clinton’s were good friends with Trump.

      Early on I could see many democrats supporting him because of his democrat history. Previously trump was very pro-lgbtq rights and supported a single payer system.

        Trump is and always has been a textbook narcissist. He doesn’t have any specific values beyond his own benefit. He supported the Clintons and democrats in New York because doing so was good for him and his business.

          He’s a narcissist in layman’s terms. I’ve never liked the man. It’s not even politics as much as you feel dirty when you meet him. I’ll never understand the cult of Trump.
