I would start with insulting muslims, mexicans, women, etc and than being elected potus. Minor details. Im glad people are protesting. At least the rest of the world knows that we are not all fans of his crass racist ignorant speech. Do not ever underestimate the power of words.
Edit - c-red remember me accidentally flipping the bird to the old lady who was a cowboy fan? U had a problem with that kind of hate. So i guess im wondering how you could even ask the question "what kind of damage he has done"?

Politician/Political fear mongering has gone on forever on both sides of the aisle, it's not destroying or damaging the US, any more than the divisiveness the democratic party has long done. (You possibly don't see it that way, so you probably disagree my belief about the long term damage inflicted on society by the PC crowd.

I'm not going to defend every statement Trump has ever made, there are too many bonehead ones. But I do like that instead of walking around in a PC cloud, he spoke openly about what he sees as the issues, and let the cards fall where they may.

Speaking non-PC in this PC driven world was amazingly refreshing, even if at times it makes you understand how PC speak came into existence.

If he continues the tone once in office then that may well do some long term damage, but whether it was the republican primaries, or the general election, he said and did what he thought it took to defeat his opponents. If he attacks the US's real problems with that same vigor and clear speech, I hope we will see real progress across the cultural spectrum and in the long run a far more united country


As for the flipping the bird incident, it was an overt one on one act which at the time I obviously reacted to. (I don't really remember the details of the encounter - or my comments about it - but you bring it up often enough I clearly reacted strongly).

Have you seen the video of the grade schoolers chanting build the wall yet? I wonder if they are old enough to differentiate between illegal and legal mexican children who have just as much right to be here as them and their immigrant great grandparents? Probably not. Hope there isnt one in that cafeteria?
The seed of hate has been planted. Im not saying their has not been prejudice before. Not at all. But Trump whether inadvertently or not, has given it a voice. It is scary.

That's rich coming from Chicago. The uneducated in Chicago...a place where Obama spent a lot of time...have their day, every day. The uneducated spend their days enjoying such past times as live facebooking their own murder, shooting each other and the innocent, and generally living in a modern day Wild West while blaming others for their problems. Chicago's large swath of uneducated are lead by Obama's right hand man Rahm Emanuel.
