Right from that unlucky hour when Donald Trump was elected President, America has been on a slide from a cult of personality to the makings of a criminal caste system, where the bad go free, and the good go hide. Now, we have thugs and slick conmen posing as government officials, stealing from our nationâs larder to stuff their pockets, sneering all the while.
To be a person with a darker tone to their skin is more frightening these days because of people with darker hearts. Children can be swept up by masked men with hard intent, their schoolbooks in hand and play in mind, but their hopes dashed. Mothers weep the tears of the helpless, while the fathers are locked in cages. Complaints for justice flow in from the aggrieved.
It does no good. This is Trumpâs America.
