The idea of the USA has great appeal.

People like MLK or Barack Obama demonstrate to the world the possibilities to improve the practice of that idea.

People like Donald Trump demonstrate that there are still shitholes doing the stuff MLK and Obama stood against and go against the fundamental ideals of America. That would scare people away.

Trump and the cronies who prop him up are a shitstain on America's reputation. Once we put them in our rearview mirror, we can move on to bigger and better things.
