My Coffee with a Trump Supporter

I finally found a Trump supporter – this morning when I went to buy coffee. (I noticed a Trump bumper sticker on his car.)

“Hi,” I said. “Noticed your Trump bumper sticker.”

“Yup,” he said, a bit defensively.

“I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I’m curious. Why are you supporting him?”

“I know he’s a little bit much,” said the Trump supporter. “But he’s a successful businessman. And we need a successful businessman as president.”

“How do you know he’s a successful businessman?” I asked.

“Because he’s made a fortune.”

“Has he really?” I asked.

“Of course. Forbes magazine says he’s worth four and a half billion.”

“That doesn’t mean he’s been a success,” I said.

“In my book it does,” said the Trump supporter.

“You know, in 1976, when Trump was just starting his career, he said he was worth about $200 million,” I said. “Most of that was from his father.”

“That just proves my point,” said the Trump supporter. “He turned that $200 million into four and a half billion. Brilliant man.“

“But if he had just put that $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth twelve billion today,” I said.

The Trump supporter went silent.

“And he got about $850 million in tax subsidies, just in New York alone,” I said.

More silence.

“He’s not a businessman,” I said. “He’s a con man. "Hope you enjoy your coffee.”

SpaceX completes first-ever rocket landing following launch. For the first time in history, an orbital rocket successfully landed back on Earth following the completion of its primary objective.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 11 satellites for Orbcomm at 8:30 pm EST. Eleven minutes later, at 8:41, the first stage of the rocket landed at Landing Zone-1, seven kilometers south of where it started from, SLC-40.

Following its landing, SpaceX technicians will safe the rocket and lower it to a horizontal position. From there, it will be sent to a facility for further safing and inspection. Sometime in 2016, the stage will be sued for fit checks at the company’s newly-acquired and renovated LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center.
