Trump's America

I've seen a lot of posts that show people helping during the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

But there are some I find a bit distasteful.

The posts I am referencing don't mention ways to volunteer or donate.  No.  They were created and are shared to disparage and blame the media for our current nationwide division.

They all say the same thing.

"This is America helping.  Mexican Americans in boats.  African Americans providing shelter.  The media is lying to you.  They are brainwashing you.  This is Trump's America."

It's an interesting way that some are using the tragedy to bolster Conservative support.

To this point, I merely say...

You are right to say that the nation coming together is America.

But to claim it is Trump's America?

I'm sorry.  But we are not Trump's vision of us.

Alonso Guillen used DACA to stay in this country.  He was able to help in Houston.  He died helping.

And his mother, still in Mexico, was denied a humanitarian visa to bury her son.

And that?  That right there?  Denying a mother the right to bury her child?

That is Trump's America.

And we are better than that.
