Trump represents a break in our democracy. We did not elect him in a free election; he was not appointed in accordance with our Constitution.

He should never be seen as just the 45th president in a line of presidents.

The Donkey was our symbol up to 2016 but now its going to be a new age and a new symbol is appropriate. Honorably retire the Donkey and let it be the age of the mustang. Keep them both in the imagery.
