Voting for Trump as a Democrat

1:00 p.m.

Trump's given it all up for us.

Well, I dunno

I'm a Democrat

I'm just voting color blind

I'm voting for someone I love

Someone who's taught me

And so many

Someone I look up to

Like he's my own dad

Like he is to so many

A man full of positivity

An attitude of grace

And I'm proud
