    I guarantee you within 5 minutes of seeing/talking to his kids, he mentions trump and dives hard into his extreme right politics.

    But its everyone else that has “Trump Derangement Syndrome”, not him and his incessant need to make it the center of his life.

      I mean, he admits to not being there when his kids were growing up. And he spends the time talking about his offspring’s family and their “values.” They have the kids, so they’re obviously willing to keep tolerating him if the kids get to see him enough that they are “the light of his life” or whatever. But he’s still talking about how he doesn’t know if he can stand to have a further relationship with his kid (that he wasn’t around to raise) and their spouse. Because politics.

      So…I don’t think this guy’s probably on the right side of any issue they have.

        But he will always love his grandchildren, because surely they won’t ever espouse opinions he doesn’t like… right???

          grandchildren are still young enough to be cowed into only saying what grampy wants to hear.

          When they get older he’ll turn against them too.
