But shit like this really embarrasses me because now I think it's representative of way too many people...
Brilliant!

I work with a kid with severe anxiety and a learning disability. This week we had to talk about Drumpf, because thanks 'Merica. It was a good exercise for him/us to consider whether a nutjob as President has any actual effect on his/our life. We interact with and are effected by the people closest to us in far more profound ways. To have a President this coarse who apparently hates large sections of humanity would be a national embarrassment and will probably kill a lot of foreigners but the effect on his/our life/lives will be minimal unless Drumpf's supporters start rounding people up... which of course he has promised to do.
