And yet millions of Americans have a lot of anxiety about what a Trump presidency will bring because of the colour of their skin, the religion they practice, or the gender of the person they love.

If Trump wants to be remembered as a great President then he needs to step up and address these fears.

I think in a way he already did at his acceptance speech last night, but how many liberals scoffed and turned off their televisions? Perhaps it's liberals and people of color who need to stop the hate, I think there was a lot more hate towards Trump and his supporters than there ever was towards minorities in this election.

One speech does not make a person. Based on his long history his conciliatory tone will be short lived.

I could not agree more. People really need to let go of the provocative candidate Trump (the stock market did today) and focus on the impact that's coming.

As much as his path to the nomination and then the presidency is a surprise, his call for unity was more presidential than he's ever been. I think it would be short-sighted to immediately discount his presidency as a failure without seeing the people and actions that he puts into place.
