It would be easy to say this now as Clinton supporters blame everyone but themselves for this historic electoral result. But at the end of the day, this proverb doesn’t fit because you’re not my enemy. You are my friend, my neighbor, my countryman. We voted to Make America Great Again for all Americans and I sincerely believe that you will …
