  1. Trump isn't the problem in the US, but he is a symbol of that problem in the US, he got into power because the nation is divided and there are a lot of social, political and economic issues going on that are creating disunity, inequality and so on. It's not really that different from what is going on in the UK with Brexit, people are lashing out and blaming others for how things are, Trump was blaming pretty much everyone for taking advantage of the US, the UK was blaming the EU for all the wrongs in the UK, the truth is, the truth is, a lot of the problems in both countries are because of the political system that's creating division and by extension, the people are the real problem. It's very easy to blame others, use them as scapegoats but it doesn't achieve any real change, if you want real change, you have to look into a mirror and see where the real problem is because it's a lot closer to home than most think, until that happens, don't expect any favourable changes because it's not going to happen until the people change to force real change in the system, after all, the system in a country is just a reflection of the people in it no different from a democracy is only as good as the people that are willing to vote and actually get informed on facts and not the BS that goes around. It's funny because the people have the real power in any system of government but they do a poor job at using that power to get the changes they want and in the case of democracies, the people have no excuses to blame others when it's clear the people are the problem in those systems, so come on guys, wake up and start fighting for real change.
