Democrats and liberal media are cause of divisiveness

It is time the Democrats and the liberal media take their share of the responsibility for this country’s problems. For five-plus years they have vilified President Trump, his family and his supporters. They have criticized Mrs. Trump, who is educated and elegant. {I remember how horrid they were to Nancy Reagan, who was one of our most elegant First Ladies}. Now they blame Mr. Trump for the divisiveness that they have caused.
