trying to convince everyone that the government is horrible and not to be trusted. The "scariest words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help you'." right Brain-dead Ronnie? Mission accomplished.

is condemning people he claims say America isn’t great. His entire campaign was about how bad America is now and that he would singlehandedly fix that.

by Trump's crazy tweets, hate filled rallies and pissing on the rule of law and the constitution, Trump is also out there promoting the economy and exaggerating how well it is doing. The puffing up of the economic data is then repeated by the RNC, Republicans in Congress, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, One America, Sinclair Broadcasting and hundreds of local newspapers around the country. It sinks in, and therefore his followers believe that after all the bashing by Trump in 2015/2016, he really has made the economy great because they hear it so often on TV and the radio.

The rest of the world is watching this open racism by a US president, and the US is being found lacking. One of the several publications that I read regularly to get a different perspective not only on the US but also the things happening in other parts of the world is Aljazeera. Here’s a current piece on the racism toward four of our Congresswomen.

https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/trump-racism-american-exceptionalism-190718174508110.html

From the article, “Trump is America's reality check. As writer Eric Levitz concludes in his intelligent examination of the dangers of American exceptionalism, "Trump's great gift to the American people is that he has made our government's ugliest features easier to see." The emperor is indeed naked. Pointing that out is the true crime of the four Congresswomen.”

I am sure Putin would welcome them in with open arms and grant them citizenship.
And, we would be a much better nation without them.
This would truly make American Greater.

The only way to disempower it is to make it widely known

Republicans use the word democrat like it's a mental disorder.

Meanwhile they have made the Republican brand feel like it requires a mental disorder?
