President Donald Trump declared at the Charlie Kirk memorial in Arizona, ”I hate my opponents.”
Who is he talking about? Americans.
President Trump hates his fellow Americans. He hates our neighbors, coworkers, parents bringing snacks to our kids class, the person behind the register serving us coffee, or even our family members.
President Trump stated he hates half of all Americans, which is just about the most unAmerican thing a president can say. America deserves a president who wants unity.
I refuse to hate my neighbors, and invite my fellow Utahns to resist the messages of division being sold to the public. I will continue to love my family from both sides of the political aisle. I will continue to be friends with people from both sides of the political aisle.
If we disagree, let’s do so in a way that won’t harm our friendship. If we disagree, let’s find a solution instead of pointing fingers. Let’s choose to be American, together.
