Jeder Amerikaner, der Zeit im Irak oder in Afghanistan verbracht hat, wird Ihnen sagen: Je näher Sie kommen, desto weniger sicher sind Sie von irgendetwas. Wenn Sie sich im Irak befinden, sind Sie in Afghanistan mehrdeutig. Alles ist düster und grau und unsicher und möglicherweise tödlich.

Ta-Nehisi Coates

When you come to America, you get to become an American, and Trump, who has grandparents who came to the U.S., should understand this as much as anybody.
