“The world” doesn’t have eyes, and it doesn’t have a vote, and life isn’t a popularity contest.

Good one as usual!

I dont care what my neighbors think of me so why should they care what I think of them? No, really. The same applies to the world.
Unless you have been living in a cave the past 20 years, the “world” likes a weak America with a weak leader out of jealousy. We have achieved more in 250 years than they could ever muster in their entire existence. F em
Guess the world can reject/return *MY\our* tax $$$ then, no? Not as if D.C. has the Constitutional authority to ‘bequeath’ it anyway...
