20. Think about the really big and important issues that are interwoven in the Kahn's story.

First, and most obviously, there's Trumps discrimination against people based on their religion and ethnicity to portray them as unworthy to be Americans. There's his overt racism and demands to deport whole groups of people and ban Muslims, the sexism and misogyny, and the mocking of an American Gold Star family who gave their son to the people of this country. Trump also trash talked the military and the soldier who was killed. Most recently, Trump has even comments that their grief wasn't real, the heartfelt emotions weren't true, because they had appeared at the Democratic convention.

So, on many different levels, all of this feeds into the big picture that Trump in unfit to be the president, and that meme needs to get more media attention, not less.
