Both are retired, middle income, homeowners.
Both still believe Trump will make it right for them before the tax bill is signed.

Just like he "kept his word" when he said Mexico would pay for the border wall, and he would replace Obamacare with something better and cheaper that would "cover everyone".

When the brothers say they think Trump will keep his word, I'm tempted to go Al Borland (from Home Improvement) and say, "Based on what?!"

...which would be mobsters who have his shoe size on file for a set of concrete galoshes. Or polonium-laced burgers and apple pies (and they know how to make them taste like McDonalds).
