They might not have chosen to be born, but the actions of one or two irresponsible idiots were how they came to be; those idiots need to be identified, confined, and set to hard, honest labor, because the hard fact is that a gutted, personal-service-oriented, post-industrial economy can't provide a glamorous "career" for every Spoiled Snowflake who wants one.

Put on your thinking cap.

If you were down on your luck and and looking for a place where you might get some help, would you move to a Republican place?

It's likely true. Did people expect Trump to turn around what we have been doing for decades now?

This is the epitome of fake news.

Headline: America's poor becoming more destitute under Trump - U.N. expert

Reality: the data from the U.S. Census Bureau he cited covers only the period through 2016, and he gave no comparative figures on the extent of poverty before and after Trump came into office in January 2017.

Assumption: It is based on his mission in December to several U.S. states, including rural Alabama, a slum in downtown Los Angeles, California, and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

Talk about skewed reporting...

Go to the worst areas in the country and extrapolate data on "several" areas to the whole country.

So you're saying that you would go to a Democratic place just because it's Democratic and not consider where you're best opportunity was?

I hope that thinking cap comes in an adjustable size.

A selfish pandering grifter such as Trump and his equally self-serving kin are merely a symptom of the disease and the final straw of what has been a long time coming. If we do not turn things around and quickly, the USA is a complete failure and a broken relic of the foundation that the founders envisioned...a failed experiment that never reached its desired and intended conclusion.

UN is the least creditable source imaginable so disregard anything they might suggest except it's clear they are part of the butthurt Snowflakes angry at America for electing Trump President.

There, that will save them a lot of typing.

Thanks and the UN is not to be believed anyway. Anything they do is to enhance their bottom line.
