Any nation in the world has the right to keep beyond its borders any group that its leaders perceive as a mortal threat to its citizens. It is hypocritical for anyone not a United States citizen to criticize Donald Trump. Trump’s proposed action excluding people forcefully from the US is wrong because the US is not a nation and it is time for him and every other American to face the fact and to live up morally and politically to what it means. We live in a society of thousands of governments, town and city, county, state and federal and none of them have fully sovereign power. We Americans have never ever lived in a nation under a sovereign government. The founding fathers who wrote our Constitution in the 18th century decided for us once and for all that we could never become a nation because they divided up and split apart sovereign power and took away any hope we might have had of forming a nation with one government possessing by law fully sovereign power. The Constitution was designed to allow us to freely and easily expand our union of 13 states by admitting states. We admitted 37 more states and because none of them by law were fully sovereign and because the part of the Federal Government, the Congress, that had the power to admit them was not fully sovereign, we expanded enormously the most radical and the most revolutionary political system ever devised by men for the good of humanity. All humanity! All humanity. Donald Trump can gain and can exercise some important sovereign powers as President. He should use the great power of the presidency to convince states around the world that it is in their interest and in Americans’ interest that they join our union of states as new states rather than wasting his time trying to exclude citizens of foreign states who want to live freely in our union of states and escape from living under the curse of full state sovereignty.

one liberating ending to all its beginnings.
