TRUMP

>> Donald Trump began his ░░░░░░░░ with an apocalyptic image ░░░░░░░░ painted Over the course ░░░░░░░░ the year he gave ░░░░░░░░ a few reasons think ░░░░░░░░ in Charlottesville and provoking ░░░░░░░░ leader of north Korea ░░░░░░░░ worry that maybe Trump ░░░░░░░░ bring that dark vision ░░░░░░░░ reality the United States ░░░░░░░░ still standing more divided ░░░░░░░░ ever Thank you all ░░░░░░░░ coming back You ve ░░░░░░░░ been here for the ░░░░░░░░ I just have to ░░░░░░░░ this tweet that I ░░░░░░░░ during the commercial break ░░░░░░░░ wrote I m exhausted ░░░░░░░░ m going to need ░░░░░░░░ story about some cuttens ░░░░░░░░ 2017 has been exhausting ░░░░░░░░ has been so rough ░░░░░░░░ know that psychologists and ░░░░░░░░ and that community they ░░░░░░░░ a term for it ░░░░░░░░ President Trump stress disorder ░░░░░░░░ many people feel the ░░░░░░░░ this sense of like ░░░░░░░░ s going to happen ░░░░░░░░ this sense of all ░░░░░░░░ our democratic norms being ░░░░░░░░ if not demolished and ░░░░░░░░ sense of he had ░░░░░░░░ dark vision for the ░░░░░░░░ We are moving unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ many ways towards that ░░░░░░░░ vision This uncertainty and ░░░░░░░░ for people it s ░░░░░░░░ Finding a safe haven ░░░░░░░░ people that are like ░░░░░░░░ there s the strength ░░░░░░░░ go forward I find ░░░░░░░░ safety in Instagram There ░░░░░░░░ a poll from October ░░░░░░░░ people of different political ░░░░░░░░ can they come together ░░░░░░░░ are pessimistic 47 optimistic ░░░░░░░░ you pessimistic or optimistic ░░░░░░░░ m pessimistic but trying ░░░░░░░░ be optimistic I actually ░░░░░░░░ emergency kittens on Twitter ░░░░░░░░ things get too stressful ░░░░░░░░ over to the timeline ░░░░░░░░ emergency kittens 2017 started ░░░░░░░░ rough First of all ░░░░░░░░ me as a lifelong ░░░░░░░░ I didn t get ░░░░░░░░ of bed for a ░░░░░░░░ three days I can ░░░░░░░░ believe I m admitting ░░░░░░░░ 2017 started with Donald ░░░░░░░░ beating Hillary Clinton and ░░░░░░░░ fact that he could ░░░░░░░░ had aid from a ░░░░░░░░ foreign government So I ░░░░░░░░ like we never really ░░░░░░░░ to get over the ░░░░░░░░ of Donald Trump and ░░░░░░░░ the election of Donald ░░░░░░░░ So we re going ░░░░░░░░ need some deep therapy ░░░░░░░░ 2018 I also think ░░░░░░░░ re ready for it ░░░░░░░░ irony is as much ░░░░░░░░ he attacks the press ░░░░░░░░ are actually the ones ░░░░░░░░ the power to hold ░░░░░░░░ accountable We need to ░░░░░░░░ up and continue fighting ░░░░░░░░ 2018 When I heard ░░░░░░░░ awful carnage speech by ░░░░░░░░ I was incredibly pessimistic ░░░░░░░░ was like the world ░░░░░░░░ literally going to end ░░░░░░░░ year Then the next ░░░░░░░░ 24 hours later there ░░░░░░░░ the woman s March ░░░░░░░░ it was incredibly inspiring ░░░░░░░░ were all here you ░░░░░░░░ half a million people ░░░░░░░░ up with the pink ░░░░░░░░ It was amazing because ░░░░░░░░ did not expect that ░░░░░░░░ of us did not ░░░░░░░░ that type of movement ░░░░░░░░ coming together in that ░░░░░░░░ And then it moved ░░░░░░░░ the Muslim ban where ░░░░░░░░ had people come out ░░░░░░░░ the airports That was ░░░░░░░░ organic It was amazing ░░░░░░░░ you had the health ░░░░░░░░ fight to stop the ░░░░░░░░ of health care That ░░░░░░░░ amazing The town halls ░░░░░░░░ the disability community literally ░░░░░░░░ their bodies on the ░░░░░░░░ at the hill and ░░░░░░░░ that So there were ░░░░░░░░ wonderful moments that made ░░░░░░░░ realize okay there is ░░░░░░░░ to be optimistic here ░░░░░░░░ think even though the ░░░░░░░░ bill plan got passed ░░░░░░░░ think we still ended ░░░░░░░░ year with some really ░░░░░░░░ kind of glimpse of ░░░░░░░░ 2018 could look like ░░░░░░░░ have to continue to ░░░░░░░░ he reminds us he ░░░░░░░░ in hate and divisiveness ░░░░░░░░ pitting people against each ░░░░░░░░ We have to continue ░░░░░░░░ fight back in 2018 ░░░░░░░░ of hate there was ░░░░░░░░ poll from August a ░░░░░░░░ News poll on racial ░░░░░░░░ In it Trump s ░░░░░░░░ encourage racial division rather ░░░░░░░░ unity 44 said yes ░░░░░░░░ said no 39 said ░░░░░░░░ Two questions Racial division ░░░░░░░░ this country do you ░░░░░░░░ more of an exacerbation ░░░░░░░░ that rift in 2018 ░░░░░░░░ And two the level ░░░░░░░░ outrage there was January ░░░░░░░░ women s March then ░░░░░░░░ Muslim ban then the ░░░░░░░░ for science We ve ░░░░░░░░ seeing lots of expressions ░░░░░░░░ outrage throughout 2017 Can ░░░░░░░░ level of outrage be ░░░░░░░░ long enough to get ░░░░░░░░ into voting booths in ░░░░░░░░ November On this one ░░░░░░░░ share her optimism When ░░░░░░░░ talk about the racialization ░░░░░░░░ we have seen under ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration my take ░░░░░░░░ that it is coming ░░░░░░░░ his base Remember he ░░░░░░░░ not the president of ░░░░░░░░ United States of America ░░░░░░░░ is president of his ░░░░░░░░ He has made no ░░░░░░░░ to reach out to ░░░░░░░░ people So all of ░░░░░░░░ churn we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ we re talking about ░░░░░░░░ or the immigration debate ░░░░░░░░ s coming from that ░░░░░░░░ minority What gives me ░░░░░░░░ now is when you ░░░░░░░░ to something like a ░░░░░░░░ s March or an ░░░░░░░░ March you see all ░░░░░░░░ of people You see ░░░░░░░░ people there for climate ░░░░░░░░ You see people there ░░░░░░░░ the pipelines We do ░░░░░░░░ a new coalition forming ░░░░░░░░ think going ahead that ░░░░░░░░ the see to staying ░░░░░░░░ is this notion of ░░░░░░░░ I think people right ░░░░░░░░ as disheartening as the ░░░░░░░░ year has been people ░░░░░░░░ feeling empowered Those marches ░░░░░░░░ meant something They have ░░░░░░░░ people s sense of ░░░░░░░░ under siege and made ░░░░░░░░ realize that in unity ░░░░░░░░ is power and that ░░░░░░░░ is coming In the ░░░░░░░░ than a minute that ░░░░░░░░ have left we can ░░░░░░░░ run the sound bite ░░░░░░░░ I wanted to run ░░░░░░░░ there was a suggestion ░░░░░░░░ people should go home ░░░░░░░░ and think about who ░░░░░░░░ someone in your life ░░░░░░░░ you can persuade and ░░░░░░░░ reach out maybe someone ░░░░░░░░ defriended this year The ░░░░░░░░ point is we ve ░░░░░░░░ to mend these rifts ░░░░░░░░ the American body politic ░░░░░░░░ you think that is ░░░░░░░░ Is it possible to ░░░░░░░░ the whatever it is ░░░░░░░░ separates us No I ░░░░░░░░ with the Trump supporters ░░░░░░░░ them be They will ░░░░░░░░ around That s a ░░░░░░░░ one I think we ░░░░░░░░ in a place where ░░░░░░░░ re so divided Donald ░░░░░░░░ has taken us there ░░░░░░░░ ll say this Majority ░░░░░░░░ Americans voted against Trump ░░░░░░░░ are continuing to step ░░░░░░░░ against him I think ░░░░░░░░ but it s going ░░░░░░░░ be a little difficult ░░░░░░░░ we have a sexual ░░░░░░░░ in chief constantly dividing ░░░░░░░░ people On that note ░░░░░░░░ you.
