Trump "certainly contributed to the division"?
Nope.
...the loss of confidence in democratic institutions and processes. This problem existed before Trump. He reflects more than amplifies divisions in our society. Our loss of confidence is due in part to unchecked globalization that left many American workers without jobs. Many felt abandoned by the political establishment. Then came the financial crisis that made a bad situation worse.
Odd how "divisions in our society" only exist -- according to media -- when there's not a Demwit in charge.
McMaster should have remarked European allies view Trump poorly because he is forcing them to expend their own money for their own defense, instead of foisting it onto the backs of the American taxpayer.
