Donald Trump–no longer funny

If I heard correctly, Donald Trump is proposing to deport about 11 million immigrants.  

The term “genocide” was coined by Raphael Lemkin and was first used in 1944.  If you look it up on Wikipedia, you’ll find the term not only applies to the killing of an ethnic or religious group, but also can apply to the elimination or disruption of that group’s culture or existence by various means.  Deportation certainly would fit the definition.


I was one of those people who thought Donald Trump was rather amusing.  Now I think he is a danger to the Republic.  I hope he soon burns out, but it is a measure of the sickness of our culture and the disgust with our politics that he has the support he has.
