Donald Trump, The Next President of the United States of America. My Analysis. (Part 5)



It concerns me very muchhow ALL THINGS TRUMP areaffecting the minds, psyche, andwell-being of the children of America and the children of theworld,the adults of thefuture. Like Muslim,immigrant, black, and female adults of today, Muslim children, immigrantchildren, children of immigrant parents, black children, etc.will have to contend with a lot and will likelysuffer a great deal.It was disturbing to hear children at school chanting "Build that wall! Build that wall!" It's so deeply saddening that children will not only be hurt by Donald Trump's words and behaviorbut will hurt others by modeling and imitating him.



What better way to get xenophobia,Islamophobia, sexism, and other forms of racismfueling? Get the children involved. Have it begin and fester in the young so that they learn and are conditioned at a young age to hate their faith, tohate who they are,to hatethemselves.



Adults,most importantly, parents play a pivotal role in counteracting racist rhetoric, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and racism of all kinds by teaching children to be confident in theirbelief system and in themselves as human beings Godcreated as He did. Children need our support more than ever. They need us to listen to them with an open heart and attentive ears. We must be sensitive to their feelings and thoughts concerning what they are facing today and will in the future.We must teach the adults of the futurenot to be intimidated or ashamed. All this starts by us being the best role models we can possibly be for them. We must abandon investing as much energy as is typically investedin children being confident in their nationality, ethnicity, and by possessingmaterial thingsand instead invest that energy in theirbeing confident and deriving identity inthe virtues, morals, and principles ordained by God,in their display ofgood conduct,and in their being a slave of the One who created them and the One more significant than thepreachers and doers of hate.



Many thanksfor reading.
