Will America Succumb To Trumpism?

If U.S. voters reject their country’s unique founding ideals of diversity, inclusion and tolerance, then no democracy on earth is safe.

In his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday night, President Barack Obama never mentioned Donald Trump.
But the president’s speech, stressing optimism, tolerance and goodwill, was from beginning to end a dismissal and rebuttal to everything the billionaire real estate bigot is and says.

Trump, no one should ever forget, has called millions of immigrants from Mexico drug dealers and rapists, and has proposed an immediate and indefinite ban on immigration to this country of all Muslims seeking to enter from other countries.
