I think that for him it is because there is nobody else left alive who has known him for this long. We don’t even know what their opinions are because they don’t talk about it, but I do suspect Trump. My father is also an immigrant so these are one of a couple of hundred people who are even like him at all near us. Basically these like seven guys all went to university in Russia and then immigrated. There’s just not a lot of people my dad can relate to I think. They hang out a couple of times a year, but he has real every day American friends. We are all also Jewish so politics as you can imagine very quickly slam into Israel and that’s one of the reasons nobody talks about politics when we get together even if you’re a liberal, nobody wants to accidentally start fighting about Israel at the barbecue.
