Robyn lost her husband the same day I lost my best friend. Robyn and I were both left without the man who steadied us — she as his wife, me as his best friend.

Trump’s decision to focus on Memphis comes after he’s repeatedly threatened to send National Guard troops to cities in blue states as he’s accused Democrats of failing to combat crime.

But when I gained my visible difference at 25, everything changed. AdvertisementThe unhappiness and anxiety surrounding my visible difference were heightened by being part of the Instagram generation. Instead of mourning the loss of my old appearance, I began to celebrate the beauty in my visible difference. The outcome is that I no longer feel that my visible difference will be an indication of the friendships I make or experiences I have. It took a visible difference for me to realise that true beauty goes beyond physical appearance and lies in the strength, resilience and authenticity of each individual.

AdvertisementUnder his administration, Trump has made revoking someone’s citizenship, or denaturalization, a regular threat. People who are naturalized citizens can have their citizenship taken away in exceedingly rare but serious circumstances — and famous naturalized citizens have been the subject of Trump’s ire. AdvertisementWhat’s particularly concerning is that the government will typically file a civil lawsuit against you when it wants to take away your citizenship, Robertson noted.
