yelling Trump at a homeless guy + it's the economy stupid + Belicheater

There is this homeless guy who hangs out on the corner. The two of us have a running gag. Every time I see him I yell - "Trump!" - He in turn yells, "Hitler!" - We both get a hearty laugh out of it. I ran into him today on the way to the store and without hesitation I yell - "Trump!" He responds with the usual - "Hitler!" We share laughs and he says - "Was that you the other day who yelled at me?" I was glad he brought it up, because it was me - "Yeah, I figured you didn't know it was me when you flipped the bird. I had already passed." He laughs and says - "Sorry about that buddy. I thought it was some other guy busting my balls."

I accept his apology and say - "So what's the word on the street? Anything interesting?" He goes on to tell me his buddy got thrown in jail because he was too drunk and annoyed the cops - "He deserved it. He gets out of jail next week." I ask if he has been following our idol the last few weeks - "He's your idol, not mine," he says with a snicker, "And yes I have been following the baboon." He then starts rattling on about how Trump wanted to fire Mueller and how he is in bed with the Russians and blab, blab, blab. "Hey, the country asked for it and now they are getting it," he adds to his tirade.

I share a big belief in our current president, he is the guy for the economy. All the other stuff I don't pay attention to - "It's the economy stupid," I tell my friend with a laugh, "If the economy is good both here and China. Which every indicator says it will be. That's what the country needs. All this other bull shit will fall by the wayside." My homeless friend isn't so easily sold on my beliefs - "They have been saying the same thing since I can remember. Do you want to know how it always plays out? The rich get richer and the poor stay poor." 

We can only take so much politics, so I ask who he thinks will win the Super Bowl - "Belicheater - They got the quarterback, they got the experience. I would like to see the Eagle's do it. But I just don't see it happening. They can probably cover the six. But in the end Belicheater will find a way to win it." If you don't remember anything I write in the blog, at least remember this. I have never met a homeless guy who is a fan of New England.
