OPINION:
I liken President Trump to a huge apple tree that grew big, beautiful, delicious apples (the economy and respect for our country). One day a farmer (the Trump administration) came to the tree to pick a basket of apples to make a pie (a better America). He saw a couple of discolored apples on the ground, and not thinking threw them in with the fresh apples he had picked from the tree. A few days later, when the farmer went to make a pie, he saw that the discolored apples (the Democrats) were rotten and had caused some apples that had been under them (gullible people) to rot.
Knowing that the rotten apples couldn’t be used, the farmer threw them into his compost heap, where they would be absorbed with the rest of the manure.
The moral to the story is this: Come the midterm elections, if the Democrats get back into office and bring in their rotten game plan to destroy the Republicans, raise taxes, try to impeach Mr. Trump or Justice Brett Kavanaugh and stop the progress that has been made thus far, the American people won’t be making any apple pies.
