is Trump hasn't made people any uglier then they were before. They just feel free to express their hatred now. He's kinda like a giant bottle of Quervo, it doesn't make people ugly, it just sets the ugly free. So proud of the police officer who set things right. I so thought we, as a country, were better than this. But... we will be. Two steps forward one step back. We will get there.
