Had a Trump supporter try to tell me that the spending freeze is only to allow Trump to eliminate cheaters,

including all the people making "hundreds of thousands of dollars" from Medicaid fraud.

I asked him if he was aware of Rick Scott defrauding the government.

Nope. Had never heard about that.

Asked him if he'd heard about Trump's Truth Social post about sending the military to California to turn on the water.

No, he said.

I pointed out that the Defense Department had said that hadn't happened and a Fox News reporter had posted about Trump's claim not being true.

I was told that Biden had tweeted all sorts of things that weren't true.

I started to ask what things, and he ended the call.

Hopefully you at least gave him something to think about.

they will only come around when they are personally impacted - and maybe not even then.
