After his win in the Iowa Republican caucuses, Donald Trump said with a straight face that it is now time for our people to come together.

Does the call for unity include those who oppose him, whom he has characterized as “vermin”; the immigrants who he says are “poisoning the blood of our country”; and those members of minority groups who are targeted by the white supremacist thugs of Proud Boys, who are “standing back and standing by” at Trump’s direction?

No, Mr. Trump, you do not want people to come together. You want only for your sycophants to coalesce. You have succeeded in your longstanding efforts to divide and polarize.
