Donald Trump made it clear he has no intention of representing Americans who did not vote for him

This week in the nation’s capital, Donald Trump addressed the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and espoused a notably non-inclusive form of nationalism.

Snip:

And now people are starting to develop a little warm heart, but the people that you’re watching, they’re not you. They’re, largely, many of them, on the side that lost. You know, they lost the election. It’s like, how many elections do we have to have? [crowd laughs] They lost the election.

“They’re not you. They’re the side that lost.” With those words, Trump indicated that, just as he sees independent media as “fake news,” he apparently sees all dissenting Americans as unworthy of attention. Sitting presidents historically work to be at least rhetorically inclusive of citizens who did not vote for them; Trump appears to feel no obligation even to consider their interests, much less represent them.
He further stated, “The forgotten men and women will be forgotten no longer. That is the future of the Republican Party.” This coded language implies a pointed contrast with the Democratic Party’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, often seen by conservatives as a focus on people of color at the expense of white Americans, and derisively referred to as “identity politics.”

2. Does this dumb fucker understand how few people voted for him?

Can he add?

half the eligible voters didn't vote

less than half of the ones who did actually voted for him

3. Makes sense - he's been getting beat up non-stop...protests, media, courts, leaks...sooner or later

It was going to sink in that he can't do anything to please those who are so opposed to him.

4. No shock there.

An arrogant asshole with very little support.

5. No question that Trump and the GOP do not believe in the words "of, by, and for"...

Only I, me, and mine.
