Who called the White House a "dump"?

[kentuck]

Of course, he denies it now.

Who sat in an interview on cable news and compared America to Russia, and reminded the reporter that "we kill people too"?

Who stood on the stage at Helsinki with Vladimir Putin and put down his own country as he defended Russia?

Who talked about "American carnage" and advised African-Americans that they had "nothing to lose" by voting for him?

What person in this country has talked worse about our country than Donald Trump?

Yet, like the hypocrite that he is, he stands before his audiences and tells other people to "love it or leave it". He attacks them for criticizing our country. He says nothing as his supporters chant, "Send her back!"

I do believe he has the wrong spokesman in preaching patriotism and love of country?

1. "How low have we as a nation sunk?"

That jeremiad was about raising the debt limit, something done nearly once a year in recent decades. He decided, bizarrely, to blame it on the Chinese:

2. Maybe someone should compile the clips of his trashing of

America?

Here's Trump hating on America. Is it time for him to leave?
The president says if Democratic congresswomen criticize the US, they should go elsewhere. But mocking America is one of his own favorite pastimes

Speaking to the Washington Post in 2017:

The idea of American Greatness, of our country as the leader of the free and unfree world, has vanished … I couldn’t stand to see what was happening to our great country. This mess calls for leadership in the worst way.

Trump’s 2015 book, Crippled America, was rife with critical quotes, referring to the country as “this mess” and “Uncle Sucker”, among other things:

I looked at the many types of illness our country had, and whether it’s at the border, whether it’s security, whether it’s law and order or lack of law and order.

On the day he took office in 2017, Trump painted a picture of America as a dystopian nightmare:

Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

Stretching back to 2011, he regularly tweeted about which countries and other political bodies were laughing at us:

US Gov't is on the hook for more than a third of the world's entire debt & we wonder why China & OPEC are laughing all the way to the bank!

Thanks to @BarackObama rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline, China has become Canada's biggest oil consumer. China is laughing at us!

Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.

When asked by Bill O’Reilly in 2017 about his praise for Putin, Trump said America wasn’t much better. But was Putin was “a killer”, O’Reilly said. Trump replied:

There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s so innocent?

His speech to the 2016 Republican national convention was a laundry list of things that he found shameful about the country:

Our roads and bridges are falling apart, our airports are in third-world condition.

4. And who questioned the citizenship and qualifications of

the then sitting President?
