MADELEINE: (showing me an online headline over a photo of two people) Mommy! This couple lived in a town called "Trump Country," and they got EVICTED from their apartment because they had a "Black Lives Matter" sign. Isn't that TERRIBLE?
Well, you know how it is in the town of Trump Country.
I explained to her what the term "Trump Country" means, which gave her more clarity on the whole story. I guess at first she just thought: a) it's weird that Trump already has a town named after him after only 4 years as President, and b) How ironic that the town of "Trump Country" turned out to be as racist as Trump himself!
She’s always thinking, analyzing, involved. You’ve both done a great job engaging her in matters of importance. Judi
