.mansoortshams: I'm a Muslim U.S Marine, and I'm staying, to make America great again. Just not the Trump way | Opinion
It's a few years ago. I'm in the midst of heavy traffic in Baltimore City, and out of nowhere, a man walks in front of my car, forcing me to suddenly break. Naturally, I honk my horn. Without any hesitation, he responds"Go back to your country." And it doesn't stop there - to make it clear I didn't belong he hurls a plastic bottle my way, hitting my windshield.
And now it's 2019, and the President of our United States tells a press conference:"If you're not happy in the U.S., you're complaining all the time, very simply, you can leave, you can leave right now—come back if you want, don't come back if you want, its ok to, but if you're not happy here you can leave."
Yet as I reflect on today's state of America, I begin to wonder.
I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. Americans were telling another American, and not just any American—a U.S. Congresswoman—to go back to where she came from. She hadn't been accepted. To them she wasn't American.
