America is failing as a superpower, as a country, and as a people in record time.....we should not be happy about that.

considering all of the massive distractions & disfunction, there is a perception of calm; of course everything is relative .......... calm included ........... storms also ........

Trump is burning down as much of the swamp as he can to buy America some time to avoid the clutches of the BUS DRIVERS TO UTOPIA.

He is doing an awesome job.

Yes, electing a reality TV show douchebag has accelerated our fall far beyond anything I could have imagined.

The lesson you were supposed to take on Nov 9 2016 was that the Intelligentsia have failed, they have lost the nation, that so many instead screamed "NOT MY PRESIDENT!" was proof that we are not ready to learn.

All that happened before Trump even started, and so was clearly not his fault.

What do you base that on?

Not trying to be combative here, just really would value your opinion on the criteria.

The failure of institutions both in America in the post war global mechanisms that we set up and have largely managed since, the lack of confidence in those systems and the people who run them, that there is now no common experience in America in part because there is now such a huge income and wealth disparity, the lack of interest in truth, the utter hopelessness as documented in the fact that so many are killing themselves with opioids, the fact that Americas reputation around the world has crashed, the fact that we are so immoral that we steal from the kids/grandkids/unborn and make no effort to fix crumbling America or make even minimal efforts to fix a medical system that is bankrupting the nation, the fact that we are so desperate that we just elected a Trump and instead of taking this as a wake up call to do reforms the FAILED INTELLIGENTSIA! has no interest in doing anything other than removing Trump, and they are clearly willing to burn America down to burn Trump out.....

I could go on but you I am sure take the gist.

We are very ill.

You clearly never understood what Trump was talking about when he railed against the Swamp at the Rallies.

You know, admitting to buyer's remorse over voting for Trump isn't a sin, and it's not an admission that you failed, at least not when viewed through the lens of a multi-billion dollar campaign season in which poor information, misguided agendas, and yes, even outright state sanctioned false information from hostile foreign powers all played key roles in guiding one of the most infamous grifters in modern history into the White House.

You could even still say that you think that some of the ideas put forth by the Trump campaign SOUNDED reasonable. Look, populism has some merits.
The whole point is, Trump isn't anything like he portrayed himself to be, local yokels and city folks alike got taken in by a city slicker con man from New Yawk City.

Recognizing that he's a con man is a first step in understanding how we got here.

We got here because the pro's have long failed and not only failed but proven to be liars as well.

I regret Trump not at all, Trump is a Patriot, and he has shown an ability to get things done all his life, a habit which has continued in his new profession.

Excuse me, but what does that bring to the debate?

Personal insults are always the first tool of the entirely incompetent

But how few pay attention....I have long been clear that Trump is a doer and a Patriot, I dont apologize for Trump, I am proud of Trump......keeping in mind that he has huge flaws and areas where I do not agree with him but beggars cant be choosers and he is a far better man than most.
