President-elect Trump: Cut ties with your supporter Carl Paladino!
A long-time booster of Donald Trump, Carl Paladino made blatantly racist statements about President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama this week. He tried to pass it off as a joke by we see it clearly as hate speech that will alienate people throughout the world.
Paladino publicly wished for the death of President Obama and the deportation of Michelle Obama to Africa. He said several other unspeakable things about the Obama's that are not repeated in this text.
Enough is enough!
Donald Trump, you claimed that you will be the President for all Americans. Your credibility as President is now on the line. It’s time to cut all ties to Carl Paladino now!

Why is this important?
There is no need to explain Paladino's comments further. They speak for themselves.
To clarify our demand to "cut all ties to Carl Paladino now" we mean that Trump must:
1. End any public or private connection to Carl Paladino,
2. Cut all financial ties that he, his business partners, his family, or any of their business partners may have with Paladino, his business partners, his family, or any of their business partners may have to Paladino or any business with which he is affiliated,
3. Return any donations or gifts you or anyone in your family may have received,
4. Demand all members of your administration do the same, and
5. Commit to the severance of ties at least through the end of Presidency.
Other remedies may be necessary also, but anything short of these demands means that Donald Trump's claim to be President for all Americans cannot be taken seriously.
