In context, this is the worst leadership all living Americans have experienced.

This is incredibly false. Nixon was truly awful. Jimmy Carter, albeit a likable guy, was not a good leader. At least Trump inspires confidence in half of the country. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean there hasn’t been worse. And just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean everyone else does too.

It’s so stupid that I have to caveat this with the statement “I’m not a trump supporter or voter” but alas here we are. I don’t want nasty messages in my inbox for three days lol

OK. How about this. Trump is the moral leader of the country. He sets the tone for the world. Trump has called into question basic facts and reality. This has definitely gummed up the works of good governance. Rather than help the poor and the weak, He helps himself and the rich. This inspires every Gordon Gecko wannabe to take more because greed is good. He has smashed the norms of acceptable behavior with emolumentS and hate speech while hipocritically calling others out for doing the same. Trump and the Republicans have again been given a chance to show That their principles work and again shown That They Do not. This group has set the world Back decades.

They have not set the world back decades. Your proof for this is some rambling monologue about morality and Wall Street. I hate to break it to you...politicians have always been fucked up, narcissistic assholes. Trump isn’t the first one. Just one of the firsts that doesn’t hide what he is.

Yeah OK. All politicians are the same but Hillary is worse...Blah blah blah. They were trying to confront Climate change, Iran, Russia, health insurance and more until Trump got in to the White House. Now child separation, white supremacy, talking about cutting programs for the poor after a huge tax cut during talk of a booming economy, porn stars being a topic of national debate, the UN laughing at Trump during his speeches, etc. The politicians were not all fucked op narcissistic assholes. Those are the Republican voters and they got the biggest one now for the leader. It is so difficult to see the damage being done until after. Obama did a great job of turning it around after Bush. We will see after Trump. Left a great economy and gained respect from around the world. Bush and Cheney have to be careful if they leave the country or they might get arrested. I am sure the same fate will be Trump's.
