ban gays, what about people of color, maybe he can ban them too, and what about someone that speaks a different language, many they should just be kicked out of the country, what about women, they've been too damn uppity, maybe he can place them in servitude. People like this are such absolute assholes, in short, maybe the easy solution it to just ban him from the US!
