Wrong. Both Bush and Obama were patriots. As was Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan, Carter and all the presidents before them (not sure how I feel about Nixon).
Trump is the first president in modern times that has his own interests and that of his cohorts ahead of the country. He has no clue of foreign affairs, doesn't know the difference between HIV and HPV, doesn't understand how trade works, has no idea how to work with Congress, and works in a constant state of chaos.
Man, you’ve got a tough 6 1/2 years ahead of you! Come towards the light.
This is the digital equivalent of sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on.
Hey, don’t you know that we old, racist white guys have feelings too? Good thing we still call the shots and what losers like you think mean nothing to us. Now, go back in moms basement.
Sorry you hate that this is a white nation, created BY white people, FOR white people.
Sorry that you are so hateful that you hate historical fact.
Or white people. What have we done to you? You should be thanking white people...because of us you have an easy life full of modern conveniences. What an ingrate.
This country was founded on the premise that all are created equal. All colors, creeds, nationalities, languages. All means all, y'all.
"We no longer know who we are or what our national purpose is,"
That would be everyone except Trump supporters. We know what our national purpose is: re-establish the rule of law, fight corruption in DC, secure our borders and make our country safer, fix our economy and put people back to work, promote personal responsibility and treat everyone fairly. Our purpose couldn't be any clearer.

Please join us. MAGA.
You don't get it. A national purpose transcends political leanings. As example, in the 60's, space exploration was a national purpose with broad support on all sides of the political spectrum. After 9/11, there certainly was a national purpose to fight terrorism, although that has dissipated as concerns of various types have arisen. In the late '70's early '80's a national purpose to fight inflation existed.
See the difference? Not everyone agrees with a border wall. Establishing the rule of law? That seems to be the last thing the current president knows anything about. Fighting corruption in DC? Same answer.
YOUR purpose, and the minority of Americans who voted for the current president may share your list, but Americans generally do not. YOUR purposes are not national ones, and the Arch-bishop nailed with when he said that was missing.
Most people care more about their local sports team than the country as a whole.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the US as a whole anymore, while I love the state I love in (CO). As we've seen, the people's influence on our country is little -- many politicians are simply corporate sellouts. Meanwhile, at least on the state level, we can vote for or against things that directly impact us with a much better turnout and representatives. I was shocked by all of the things on the ballot last year I could vote on in CO. It was pretty awesome.
