"We can either be governed by fear, fear of immigrants, fear of Muslims, call the press the enemy of the people, tear kids away from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, or we can be governed by our ambitions and our aspirations and our desire to make the most out of all of us. And that's America at its best."

That is a good example of a non sequitor. It's bullshit, but it sounds great.

There's nothing "non sequitor" about it. I'm wondering if you know what "non- sequitor" means
non sequitor:
a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.
The second statement follows perfectly from the first - i.e. America is at its best when we follow our desire to make the most out of everyone. Inclusion makes America great, not excluding others because of fears not based on facts.
It's a non-sequitor because there never was the great America that's being bullshitted. It's a myth, just like the dream.
Oh, it's there whether you can see it or not.
Better perception, that's for sure
