LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 30: Demonstrators hold up placards during a protest outside Downing Street against U.S. President Donald Trump's ban on travel from seven Muslim countries on January 30, 2017 in London, England. President Trump signed an executive order on Friday banning immigration to the USA from seven Muslim countries. This led to protests across America and, today, in the UK, a British petition asking for the downgrading of Trump's State visit passed one million signatures this morning.

Remember after Donald Trump won the election and some people said, "give him a chance," well that time has come and gone. In just ten days Donald Trump has systematically upended what it means to be American and has somehow alienated most of the world.

His apparent hardon for executive orders is beginning to look a lot like the orders of a dictator, and unfortunately the situation at airports around the country isn't making optics any better. The Muslim Ban has just been signed into law, the Mexican border wall is happening, and the rest of the world is taking notice.

Let's remember that this is a President who set out to argue about the size of his inauguration crowd during his first televised interview as POTUS. We're dealing with an administration peddling "alternative facts" that treats the media like an opposition party. This sort of stuff is "unpresidented."

Chris Lawrence agrees that it's time to stop giving President Trump a chance. It's beyond the time to be open-minded. Within ten days this administration has screwed over large chunks of the country and positions the United States to strengthen those at the top. "The people" have been left behind.

It's time to stop giving President Trump a chance. It's time to join the resistance.
