Discuss the author's opinion of Americans and their relationship to Trump.
If Americans had any self-respect Trump would be the object of a ridicule so vicious he wouldn't want to be seen in public anymore.

If America had some sort of minimum standard for citizenship, these people wouldn't qualify.
