Now the Trump transition team has announced an extraordinary move to unify the nation (Donald Trump has, after all, maintained all along that he is a great unifier): the availability of Trump Gold Star Family Stars.
In a press release about the gold stars, Donald Trump referenced his least favorite poem by Emily Dickinson, "I'm Nobody. Who are you?" "I want everybody to be somebody," said President-elect Trump, "and I want to know who everybody is so that I can serve them better."
Trump Stars will soon be distributed to all Americans.* People should adhere the stars to their left lapels and wear them at all times. According to the website, the stars are available for "Jews, Mexicans, Muslims, member of the LPGA/BLT community, illegals, the disabled, the politically correct, African-Americans, homely women, the liberal elite, and members of the main stream media."
"I will be President for all of Americans," proclaimed Trump, "and with these gold stars we can work together and unify our great country."

By Emmett Lee Dickinson: I’m Somebody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – who? Then there’s the door for you! Good bye! I’ll banish you – you know. How dreary – to be— Nobody! How hazy, like a Fog I tell my name – the livelong Day – To an admiring Bog! | By Emily Dickinson: I’m Nobody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – too? Then there’s a pair of us! Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know! How dreary – to be – Somebody! How public – like a Frog – To tell one’s name – the livelong June – To an admiring Bog! |
