For Rosie. I'll look the other way.


My friend Rosie wants me to give her idol, Donald Trump, the benefit of the doubt. Sorry, Rosie, can’t do it. Trump is at the top of my jerk list. Always will be. Can’t do anything to win me over. I’m closed minded. When it comes to Trump. Wish I had a totally open mind. But that’s impossible. As long as there’s a Donald Trump. He’s my definition of evil. A lying and vulgar and nasty being. There. I said it. Maybe that makes me a jerk, too. It does. In the eyes and minds of some Trump devotees. But the important thing. Rosie and I remain friends. We give each other leeway. To be ourselves. That’s the way friends should operate. More or less unconditionally. Rosie. Rosie. You have put me to a severe  test. When you give Trump your approval. I’ll merely look the other way. –Jim Broede
