He seemed to foster division among people rather than bringing them together.
His border policy, based on fear mongering, of separating families was inhumane.
Instead of calling for unity and understanding during racial tension and protests, he often seemed to fan the flames of division.
His immigration policies like the travel ban on Muslim-majority countries created a sense of "us" versus "them", which I believe is not beneficial for a country as diverse as the U.S. A friend of mine was from one of those countries. He was studying here, contributing positively to society, yet lived in fear he might not be allowed back if he visited his family back home. Fear and uncertainty is not what the land of opportunity should stand for.
Now, I'm not saying one person is wholly responsible for the state of our nation. However, the President does have a significant role in setting the tone of our national discourse. And during Trump's tenure, it often felt like that tone was one of hostility and division.
