Donald J. Trump’s rhetoric, manner and needs are so abhorrent and terrifying that retired attorney Peter Gelblum understands why talking about him causes rifts in families. He fears this state will only get worse as the Trump presidency advances. Trump supporters will just have to accept why friends and family don’t want to be around them, he writes: “Support for Trump is a statement that that voter believes that his behavior and language are acceptable, or at least unimportant.”
