CJ is our yard guy and has been for over a decade.
A good guy- hard worker, a year or two years away from retirement, and he’s been a Trumper, at least until recently.
Two years ago, he said Trump was for “the little guy”, but today he was singing a different tune.
“Yard guy”- think hundreds of gallons of no alcohol gasoline a year…… at the moment, he’s buying bags of fertilizer to put down on spring lawns, and he’s just emerged from a winter of repairing all of his equipment- mowers, blowers, edgers, weed eaters, chain saws…… with tariff enhanced parts.
He came over this morning. I poured coffee and my wife and I sat down with him with an eye to outlining some of the things we’d like done this year.
I’ve never heard a mean word cross his lips, but this morning, my wife and I spent a lot of time just listening, and what poured from his heart was a litany of the betrayal he felt at the hands of the guy who said he was for “the little guy”.
And it wasn’t just him. Many of his friends, some of them owning small businesses that have gone under or are hurting, feel the same.
My wife and I didn’t do much talking, except to share our thoughts about the yard. But it’s good to see a guy come to his own conclusions and to know he’s not the only one.
