So I'm in the dentist chair today getting a tooth fixed...

and the dentist and her assistant are talking about some kid the both know that is apparently an extremely spoiled brat and they were lamenting about how if the parents don't get control of the situation the child is going to end up being a messed up adult. Although I had a mouthful of cotton, novacaine, and dental tools, I still managed to blubber 'like Trump'?

They both laughed and said "OMG, yes!", then proceeded to list all the horrible things he's been saying. They even went so far as to compare him to Philippine President Duterte (they're both Filipinos) and how they could both see how Trump could be capable of similar authoritarian abuses.

It ended up with them both saying they were praying that Trump doesn't get elected, and it did my heart good to run across two more ladies that understand how bad Trump would be for this country!

Dentists are typically Republicans by about 2-1. Obviously, you have one of the good ones. I have went into a dentist's office and Fox News is playing. Never went back. I've also had one start complaining about Obama and I didn't agree with him, just sat silent while he worked, and never went back. The rightwing ones usually let you know they are crazy. LOL

Good timing with your line to the 2 of them! Funny!
