Trump calls for UNITY in Thanksgiving address?


President-elect Donald Trump is calling for unity in a Thanksgiving address posted on social media.
In the message released Wednesday, Trump says the nation has just finished a "long and bruising" campaign and that "tensions don't just heal overnight."
Trump says he is praying that on Thanksgiving the country will "begin to heal our divisions and move forward strengthened by shared purpose."

The epitome of hypocrisy. After the campaign when he did everything he could to encourage DISunity.

That's like an abuser who beats the crap out of you, then says, "We need to try to get along better."

You're not interested in unity if you stock yourcabinet and staff with white nationalists and extreme far right wing loons.

In other words, he didn't sound like a drunken third grader, so it's very unlikely those words were his own.

what could he do to actually bring us together?

I suppose if he apologized for everything obnoxious thing he said on the campaign, would be good.
Then governed like a moderate instead of a conservative asshole.

But the odds of that are almost nil.

Nonetheless-- you KNOW conservatives are gonna keep saying how we never gave him a chance, and we're so mean to him. Well, fuck that, that is on them.
