tRump won the presidency of the world's greatest melting pot. A nation of immense diversity that has been successful (GREAT) in part because of its diversity. This president by his words and actions has demonstrated that he doesn't understand this and that he doesn't want to. He is obviously comfortable being the xenophobe we've come to know.

tRump, a man who seemingly has no knowledge of our history or any desire to learn it must be turned out of The White House in 2020. That is if he doesn't resign first or get impeached and removed by the senate.

On a more immediate note the 2018 mid term election is critical as well. Maybe more since republicans who have supported tRump must go as well. Ridding the House and Senate of enough republicans to flip them must be job one. Because if that becomes a reality it is a huge game changer and would tie the racist tRump in knots. IE effectively obstruct and defeat his agenda just as the rethuglicans did to President Obama.
