The biggest irony of the Trump phenomena is his slogan: ‘Make America great again.’ Implicit in the slogan is the admission that America is no longer great. Right? But in the things he really cares about, things like economic strength, trade, etc., America is undoubtedly still great. Greater than any nation on earth. And we are still the most powerful, the greatest, military power on earth as well. So how have we lost our greatness? We’ve lost our greatness by abandoning the true source of that greatness, which is our moral basis. A basis that seems to be totally foreign to Donald Trump. Imagine that. A man who made his billions as a builder and developer has no understanding of, or care about, foundations. Remind me not to stay in one of his hotels...
Excellent post.
The people who run around saying that America is like a third world country have never been to a third world country. We STILL have the largest economy in the world (the lesson of the past few weeks is that the Chinese economy is a giant house of cards built on lies) and our economy still drives the world.
People thought Carter had destroyed America and Reagan restored hope within days; it can be done again, but only by a true conservative.
Donald Trump inherited a large fortune and built it into a larger one, not unlike Romney and the Bushes (all of whom also had conservative "conversions" at opportune moments). There's more to being president than personal wealth and saying what people want to hear, America needs leadership not showmanship.
Very insightful. Very succinct.
Thanks for sharing.
