Hey Chris-

My take on the information.

Government should not be dictating how we live our lives. Common sense guidance is good, dictates not.

Vaccines are an individual choice. Thank God there's HIPPA to prevent people inquiring on your status. It's against the law.

We'll disagree on Trump. If the repubs want to rid the party of Trump they will never win another election. Trumpism is to the republican party as liberalism is to the democrats. Do not embrace at your own peril. Most recent example Chenney, she's history as is Pence and most likely Murkowski. JMHO

My American friends are asking me about President Trumps’s observation that the British ‘like him’

I regret this is quite unfounded

The explanation for this canard is that Trump is pronoid
Pronoid is the opposite of paranoid. A paranoid person thinks, without any basis in reality, that everybody is out to get them. A pronoid person is someone who thinks, without any
basis in reality, that everybody likes them
The fact is that the British loathe Donald Trump

This is because he is the polar opposite of a ‘ Gentleman ‘, who has qualities the British admire. A fine example is Gareth Southgate
To the British, a ‘ Gentleman ' is a man who is modest, well-mannered, self deprecating, quietly intelligent, considerate of other people’s feeling, and well-informed.

He is not vulgar, inflated, vain, boastful, noisily ignorant, sleazy and common as muck

I hope this clears up any confusion
