[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The worst of it is that we spent 2 centuries of hard work gaining trust, building strong partnerships and alliances, and here Trump has thrown it all away.

Worst President for foreign policy in our lifetimes.[/quote]

Don't worry, at some point we'll have a Dem back in office to go on a global apology tour like Obama did.[/quote]

Nah. This can’t be fixed. Trump flushed American hegemony down the toilet and it’s gone. The world will no longer be run to the benefit of Americans.

Enjoy your lower standard of living, PP![/quote]

Don't shoot the messenger. Trump just reflected a mirror on America for what it is and was always. He's not the one who did all this, he's the delivery man who is doing it, but America was and is always a country that had a lot of fake pride in its democracy, justice, institutions, etc. being best in world when it is far from being even ranked Top 10. Obviously there is a lot of good, however, simmering beneath was always what is being shown now externally, it was always a 50/50 or 40/60, 35/65, if you want it that way. But always a 30%-40% in the country that had all these ideas and their culture is what is now being propagated on world stage. This is what you get when you forcefully keep the 35% that wanted to be a different country based on some very different ideals. American democracy is fake, it doesn't allow all type of political systems, it hasn't elected a women or even a non-christian white male ever as its leader, other countries have, even African nations that some people call as third world have done better. Go look in mirror America, this is you, Trump is just the messenger who showed the world who we are.

I was a kid during the Reagan years and grew up on a steady diet of “America is the best country in the world.” And as a kid, you believe what you hear from politicians and the media because why would adults be lying to you? It was very disconcerting to grow up and learn that many other countries have nicer things than we have (whether it’s affordable healthcare, happier populations, maternity leave, or whatever … even better public bathroom stalls!). For many years I switched to a feeling of “we have nice things, and many other countries also have nice things.” But now the first half of that is getting harder and harder to believe.
