We've sure slipped at present.


Yes, America Can Still Lead the World
The Atlantic
By Jake Sullivan

There is a common thread: the idea that the United States has a set of characteristics that gives it a unique capacity and responsibility to help make the world a better place...

After Trump, the United States will face its next great readjustment. Part of the challenge will be to repair the damage he has done—to alliances, to treaties, to the perception of American motives, to trust in America’s word, and, most of all, to the very idea of America... Trump treats foreign policy in simple terms: us against them... Trump’s worldview is one of grievance and victimization...

No... It's more like Lead, Follow or get the hell out of the way.

We are tired of spending our money supporting and caving into the whims of the rest of the world. It should be America first.

The rest of the world can follow or get the hell out of the way.

America: *Beats up kid

America: Gives aid to the kid he beat up.

America: "Why do we gotta take care of you!! "

I'm going to guess that you're one of the majority of people who wrongly imagines that a big chunk of our budget goes for foreign aid. Also, you may be one of the people who doesn't understand our global interconnectedness. But I can see that you seem to share Trump's aggrievedness.

17 years of continuous war and bombing, destruction of lives and property, profligate spending, historical debt, trillions taxed out of the pockets of the citizenry every year. Americas greatness is a myth, but its arrogance is not. Both parties own this disaster

Well, when Trump says jump, they jump.
Who is leading the world? Trump.
