"Your idol has lost his everlasting mind. I knew when this buffoon got elected things would be chaotic. To think this jack off pulled the wool over the countries eyes is a testament to how dumb people really are. What a fucking sham. Mueller is going to put an end to this soon." I have informed him on multiple occasions Larry Bird is my idol, not Donald Trump. I inform him once again - "Sure thing Mr. Trumpeteer," is his response.
Listening to his politics is entertaining (for a minute) & then it becomes cumbersome. I decide to change the subject to something less irritating - "You know what the big buzz in Kansas is right now?" My homeless friend is a big college hoops fan. His favorite team is Texas A&M. It's where he hails from - "They are worried Trump will get impeached," he says with a snicker. "No," I say with a laugh of my own - "It is conceivable KU could face K-State in the championship. With K-State beating Kentucky last night - anything is possible."
My homeless friend is skeptical of such a thing happening - "So what K-State beat Kentucky. If Kentucky could make a free throw the game wouldn't have been close. They just got lucky. They will lose to Loyola." - I disagree with him. Kansas State has a legitimate shot to make it to the final four. Even the diehards didn't think that was going to happen at the start of the tournament. I let him know it as well - "Look," he says with smirk, "Even if K-State beats Loyola they would have to win a semifinal game & KU still needs to win out on their side of the bracket. I would put the odds of a KU - K-State title match-up at 700-1. It's not to say it couldn't happen. It's just highly unlikely."
The conversation turns to politics yet again - "You know they have measures in place for what is happening now." I have no idea what he is talking about. I tell him such and he says - "When the country elects a mad man president. They have measures in place to protect us against the harm he will cause." Whatever Internet conspiracy podcast he is watching now: he needs to change. I don't know what else to say so I say the same thing I always do - "Man, you have got to stop with the conspiracy this & conspiracy that. You are starting to spook people. As long as the economy is good and he does what he says he is going to do with trade. He is not going anywhere."
As I am about to depart, he adds - "Time will tell with your idol Trump. I don't think he makes it much longer." He could be right. The truth is I don't care one way or another. I just want to see him get something done in China before he goes - "Also, good luck on your dream of K-State & KU meeting in the title game - I will tell you this now that I think about it. If Donald Trump can get elected president than anything is possible," we bump fists and then I pivot left and head up Durango.
