PLEASE DON ’ T TAKE TRUMP ’ S BAIT

If you truly want to make America great , you must turn down Trump ’ s help to divide us . We were working toward being a better America for all before Trump became president . America was never her greatest for our Native American brothers and sisters , nor for much of America ’ s diverse population .
WE MUST REMEMBER It ’ s necessary to remember how people like Trump came to be in charge of this country – mostly on the backs of Black people , then misusing Brown people and Yellow people .

You must think about how America treated Black people by enslaving our ancestors , then constantly telling us to get over it and love America without question . It ’ s not that easy when our ancestors have been robbed , killed , beaten , cheated , lied to , and we ’ re still too often pushed back when we try to rise up to enjoy what America professes to be .

So many like Trump have made it clear that every time we begin to enjoy a little bit of America the Beautiful , there ’ s somebody like Trump wanting to send us back to someplace most of us have never been .
PELOSI RESPONDS I want to thank Speaker Nancy Pelosi for turning down Trump ’ s help to criticize her party members while they are having a family dispute about the pace of change for those of us for whom America has a long way to go to give meaning to the words “ justice for all .”
She made a mistake in her response to young women who refused to be silenced . Caught off-guard , she took the bait , but these young women reminded all of us what Democrats stand for . It ’ s fair to ask party members not to publicize party differences , but party differences are not Trump ’ s business . So Democrats , don ’ t take the bait .
Who is Trump to tell Congresswomen Ayanna Pressley , Ilhan Omar , Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez to “ go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came ?” Three of the women were born in the country he ’ s trying his best to make a crime-infested country !
BETTER THAN TRUMP Yes , Congresswoman Omar came to this country as a refugee when she was just 17 , became naturalized , and became a far more productive citizen than Trump has ever been . She has done pretty good through all of her challenges . She ’ s achieved what many who ’ re born here with better opportunities haven ’ t come close to achieving .
I ’ m tired of hearing , “ No one is above the law ” when Trump thrives on living high above our laws . Who else could get away with at least 10 charges of obstruction , allegedly raping many women , praising enemies of our nation , having a vulgar mouth , violating basic human rights , telling over 10,000 lies in office , having no respect for anyone who doesn ’ t bow down to and defend his bad behavior ?
‘ DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH ’ Speaker Pelosi is right in saying , “ When … Trump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries , he reaffirms his plan to ‘ Make America Great Again ’ has always been about making America White again . Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power .” The four lawmakers who fired back at Trump in a press conference were brilliant . They ’ re obviously the grown-ups representing American values .
