Over 300 years ago the era of the witch hunts took place. Now in 2016, we still see signs of these witch hunts everyday. Specifically during things to do with our president Donald Trump. Trump and his followers are perceived as the good group going after the “witches”, also known as Muslims, immigrants or “terrorists”.
