Because I’m white, it was easy for me to conflate the solidarity we witnessed on the ground among New Yorkers on 9/11 for some kind of colorblind national unity in the months and years that followed. The reality is and was vastly different.

Those closest to the orange criminal-in-charge know him best. They know he is a liar and a cheat. Why don't others realize this. I suppose that they cannot admit being duped by a conman. SMH.
