What Mr. Trump represents is the destruction of American values and lack of leadership and decreased world influence.


From what I've read in the foreign press, Europeans and people of other developed nations think he is a cruel and greedy buffoon baby. They are stunned by his lack of a moral compass and his utter arrogance and ignorance. Some have gone on to report that it is a widely held sentiment that Americans are being pitied for the situation we are in. And the world leaders are moving on without the USA..... as he has encouraged by his every action and word.


MAGA....Shudder.

"I think people don’t actually really consider Trump a legitimate president," Dean said on MSNBC.
Which is your first mistake Mr. Dean. Thinking is not your forte.

Keep to the screaming and losing. It suits you well.

I still do not understand this BS. Trump made it very clear that he was going to be putting American interests FIRST!

Of course globalist fools in Europe always wanted the USA to kow tow to them. All they care about is our money..THATS IT!!!

I am pleased to hear that they are "moving on" without the US to fund their friggin socialism.

You need to learn the difference between excitement and screaming.

Surely, no matter how slavishly someone may blindly adore Trump, a person would be aware that international reputation counts for something.

It is, of course, true that traditionally, despite our many missteps, America did have supposed values that lent us a kind of moral authority. Trump is destroying that, from a combination of his bigotry, his money-grubbing, his sleazy background, his crudeness, his endless lies, and his cozying up to authoritarian regimes.

How terrible American values are.
You just, unwittingly, made my point for me.

Ehm - no? You're on the downslope and everybody knows it. And you elected a guy who's doing everything he can to disable US soft power. The US reached apogee in the decades following WWII, when there was an intact infrastructure and everybody else was bombed to smithereens.

I suspect future historians will place the marker somewhere between the Moon landing and the fall of the Wall.

Yet you choose to live here, rather than in Denmark (Denmark being one of the two or three happiest countries in the world).
