What you two are spouting is the essence of Trump's appeal. You guys need to get a grip. The party is over. And that pasty white skin of yours will still earn you a lot of undeserved privilege.

Who is "you guys"? And I think you completely missed my point. Completely and utterly.
I DON'T CARE that these folks are moving into the mainstream and becoming the new face of our nation. In fact, I LIKE it, John. I deeply dislike the assumption of any perceived birthright base on race, religion or ethnicity. White men will have to compete for success now and that is just how it is. No more being handed an easy path and "...following the old man into the mill.", so to speak. Those days are long, long gone and we will just have to get used to it. The kids and grandkids will just have to go get their own.
I believe that is how it should have ALWAYS been.
To me, Trump represents the Old World, desperate to survive. A spoiled, conceited, arrogant and privileged rich brat, the male version of Veruca Salt who thinks he is the backbone of humanity. The truth is that he is not. America and the world would still exist without him. We owe him nothing.
Michael Forbes is my hero.
