Trump's "Unified" America

Trump had a press conference 2/16, and one of his statements revealed a lot about what he thinks of people who don’t support him. Among the many outrageous things he said (such as: the leaks coming from his Administration are real, but the news stories about the leaks are fake, and telling an African American reporter to set up a conference between himself and the Congressional Black Caucus, because hey, don’t all black people know each other?), one thing in particular stood out: what he said about protesters at Republican Town Hall meetings: “They are not the Republican people that our representatives represent.”

At a Warren, Michigan rally on March 4, 2016 Trump said “I will unify the country. I’m going to unify blacks and whites. I’m going to unify. And we are not unified now.”


Trump is unifying the country. More and more people are coming to realize that Trump is a fool. So he is unifying normal people to oppose him.

However, that's only unifying the opposition. I don't believe he has any interest in uniting the entire country...
