[Magdalen] Our "sh*thole" president.

Concerning the ****head word, it's my guess that a large portion of Trump's "Base"
may well have the some opinion of Haiti and Africa that Trump apparently does.
They are still stuck in 1965, and the motto that has recently popped up, "Make
America White Again," still resonates with them.
 
It's my opinion that the USA as a whole has never entirely come to grips with the
c. 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act (under LBJ).  I don't think the American
people have ever had a good discussion of these changes which had the effect of
limiting the traditional immigration to the USA of Europeans, and opened the
immigration door to Latin American, Asian, and Africans.  I can remember not being
pleased myself then at these changes which I could see would forever alter my idea that
the USA was an extension of European culture in North America.
 
However, if one keeps an open and reasonable mind, things can change.  The USA
has changed since 1965, and I have changed right along with it during these years.
I really and genuinely like the new polyglot, browning USA.   I no longer think of
the USA as "Europe warmed over."
 
I would hope that Trump's "Base" can change, too.
