TRUMP PEOPLE: “A terminally ill Connecticut man who’s a big supporter of President Donald Trump is getting a bucket list wish fulfilled, with help from his Democratic sister. Jay Barrett, of West Haven, who has cystic fibrosis, left the hospital to begin palliative care at his sister’s home last weekend and asked for some sort of contact with the president before he dies. His sister, West Haven City Councilwoman Bridgette Hoskie, who describes herself as ‘100 percent Democrat,’ went on social media to help make it happen. Friends and other supporters sent emails to the White House. The efforts paid off Tuesday [3-5-19] night when Barrett, 44, received a call from Trump.”
