Nope, he needs to repent in front of Americans, sing the national anthem at one of his games. Not carry the flag after dissing us, in front of a crowd that will cheer him for what he did.

That racist’s idea of “healing” would be something like:

“America is divided and cannot truly heal until Donald Trump and all of his supporters are dead!”

The loudest cheers for this stooge will come from the NBC broadcast booth.

They barely beat South Sudan.
