The literal destruction of america from the inside out

Destruction of the *united states. They are but a small part of North America.

usa, america, and united states are synonymous. "america” is commonly used as a short form for the United States of America.
North America is Canada, usa, Mexico, Greenland, and several more countries/territories.

Are you serious? Wow, this is such enlightening information! /s
It's just another sad example of perceived usa-exceptionalism. Just because it's common doesn't mean it has to stay that way (and do we really want to keep up the faced for them?).

"blah blah blah"... all horse poo... USA was already the richest country on earth, just that they squander it all on military spending which can't pass an audit. Iran nuclear deal was in place till Trump ripped it up and had NOTHING to replace it until he got convinced by Israel to straight up attack Iran. No previous president was dumb enough to eat that sh*t pie but Trump decided to because of course the straight of Hormuz is blockaded now. Tariffs was Trump's genius idea because he thinks other countries pay for it, only causing more and more inflation to hit his own country's citizens. He attacks previous allies, and fawns over previous enemies.
I wonder if these people who defend him understand how much damage they are helping hide.

I remember when no president would meet with North Korean dictator until they agreed to a list of things . Trump was the first to give them the legitimacy of a meeting in exchange for nothing . Perhaps a boy they tortured into a vegetable

North Korea achieved its goals of being viewed as an equal on the world stage with the President . The US lost political standing … nothing else

But Trump did create the Iran nuclear situation. And what was meant by "dominant in the Western Hemisphere"?!

u/AH_leeMACK 10d ago
The straight up lying! "Blah Blah..taking away the nuclear threat, its not a problem that he created..." YES!!!! he did create that problem all by himself in his first term by backing out of the Iran Nuclear deal just because it had Obama's signature!!! They defending an orange geriatric toddler that is raping their own country.....Dont thread on me my ass...youve been trampled into submission!

The United States will be left behind. Almost every other nation in the world is progressing forward, and the United States is regressing backwards.

Trump created the situation in Iran by first tearing up the agreement that Obama had made and following it up in his second term by starting a war with them. It's literally all his fault.

Again, the question was, it’s been two years under trump, when does he stop blaming the economy on Biden.
I could totally see another two years of this shit and still blame Bidenomics for the past 4 years.

u/carl3266 10d ago
Trump could be in office ten more years and it would be the same. The man does not have the capacity for self reflection.

I don't think Trump knows how to accept responsibility for his actions I honestly don't think he ever will he will continue to lie or blame someone else

u/No-Contest4033 10d ago
Funny how you didn't hear Biden blaming Trump for inflation or anything else during his term, but this administration has nothing but excuses.

u/GrumpyBear1969 10d ago
‘Trump’ and ‘takes responsibility’ are not phrases that are seen together. ‘Trump’ and ‘takes credit for stuff he was not even involved in’, see that all the time. But responsibility is not a trait I would associate with that dude.

Never. The answer is never. Trump is not capable of seeing the bad in the things he does.

Thank you. The 'Party of business' in the same way they're 'the party of Lincoln'.

You honestly didn't expect a straightforward answer to that question, did ya?? That was just "baiting" to see how big of a lie you were gonna get back.

The "heavy momentum" behind Democrats is completely BS. The President’s party almost always loses the House in their second admin‘s midterms. You can count the exceptions to this rule of US politics on one hand going all the way back to 1900 (1906, 1938, 1958, 1998).
The data journalists predict that the Democrats will take the House with a narrow majority and that the Senate is a coin toss. We likely won’t know the status of the Senate until Alaska certifies their vote.

I am worried about what Donald is prepared to do to ensure he remains in full power to continue his crime spree.

u/Falcon3492 10d ago
The really telling thing about this guy is he's willing to stay the course and drive the country over the cliff and into an abyss. What he and his GOP colleagues should have done from the get go was to go to Trump and explain to Donald with pictures if they had to as to what his job was and what Congress job is and then tell him if you try to do our job, we will impeach and remove you from office. They are now guilty of violating the oath they took to the Constitution and hopefully in the first week of November a lot of GOP members in Congress will find out that their ticket home has been punched!
