    Sorry so many of my tweets are about Trump. But I've lived long enough to know when to double down on something.

        I know when to seize an opportunity. This is an anti-opportunity – an opportunity to avoid disaster – but the principle is the same.

        just drilling down.. What makes you know when to seize an opportunity? Is it gut instinct or more than that - genuinely curious 👍

        So many in the UK see Mr Donald Trump as a clown figure a person to be ridiculed. If he were to become President. OMG.

        In my opinion he is harming, however he is living proof that it's true what Americans say,"Anyone can become President".

        Does it work? Your tweets are very resonating with people already against Trump. But what about Trump supporters?

        If I were Trump fan, I would feel mocked by your tweets. I would feel you don't understand me and don't really care.

        Not good strategy to actually change someones opinion. I might be wrong. Maybe in US people are more open minded than in Slovakia:)

        You are Trump supporter despite the fact all US media say Trump is very stupid. What would be the way to change your opinion?

        1st Acknowledging the reasons why they support the Trump, so they feel heard. 2nd Respectfully explaining why Trump is not solution.

        But you actually haven't lived through anything stressful. You live in Palo Alto CA, biggest worry is where to find designer coffee.

        curious to hear more double down logic - is it he's "that bad"; a message worth sending needs to be repeated; something else?
