Trump Supporter Beat His Wife For Backing Hillary

If you want a good example of the effect that Donald Trump is having on America, look no further than this: During an argument about the presidential race, a 78-year-old Trump supporter knocked his 73-year-old wife to the floor, all because she had the nerve to support Hillary Clinton.

I am just thinking about how many years this poor 73 year old woman has had to put up with this kind of abuse.

Fortunately, when President Hillary Clinton is sworn in, the young girls in our country will know that they have no limits on their futures and they do not have to put up with a lifetime with an asshole like this guy.

so this is going to happen more often. His rhetoric stokes anger and hatred and he paints such a negative image.

I've said it many times, Trump's supporters are way more dangerous than Trump will ever be.

I feel bad for that lady but nothing is funny about someone getting hurt in domestic violence. I've seen something like this happens to someone close to me.

Bottom line; this article should be more empathic toward this lady who have gotten hurt.

The only thing that comes close might be the sardonic "expressing his patriotism" comment. Overall tone to me was one of disdain. ETA: and disgust
