"We cannot remain a force for peace in the world if we are not at peace with each other...

So let's all unite; liberal, Jewish, Muslim, black, college-educated, Democratic, gay, transgender, people with pre-existing conditions, parents who vaccinate their children, immigrants... with the people who want to put them in registries, make conspiracy theories about them, insult them on a daily basis, force dehumanizing symbols and slogans in their faces, would rather scratch out their eyes than listen to an idea from them, make them pay more for access to the same goods and services, end their careers, question their loyalties, and in the most extreme cases, call for their destruction, you know, my base.

So why can't we come together under my huge hands? I don't get it and I'm a genius, I have the best ideas."
