Trump hasn’t so much failed us as we have failed ourselves.

Because everyone is chasing the dragon and no one gives a shit. Everyone with so much as an LLC tto their name is salivating at the tax cuts and deregulations. No one gives a shit. They just want to shut their eyes and worship Mammon. Solving problems and progressing world living standards is too hard.

Not true. I would very likely benefit financially from his policies but I would not even for a second consider backing that scumbag out of self interest.

What is incredible to me that those who stand the most to lose, lower and lower middle class folks are the ones that most fervently support him.

Around my neighborhood the only houses with Trump signs are the crappiest, smallest houses, that have not had an improvement since 1985.
