      No.

      Trump is the all American boy. The American dream, the real one, not the one they sell to you to work and bleed for them.

      It’s all the same game from the streets to the president. Most people are taught not to play it, so it plays them.

      The difference is that people are seeing it now. It was always there happening. If people don’t understand this then there really isn’t any hope.

      Put your faith in humanity, yourself, and the people close to you. Or else this will happen over and over again. No one is coming to save you. You can’t elect someone to save you.

        No.

        Yes, and emphatically so. If you cannot distinguish the difference between Donald Trump and what he’s currently doing, and all other presidents, then your head is planted firmly up your own ass.

      Pretty much. The new aspect is that everything the US does now is intended to benefit Trump and whoever is currently in his favor (but mostly Trump). Given how often he changes his mind, there’s no telling what’s coming next. Being the wildcard and having nuclear weapons is a dangerous combination. The world is right to worry about us.

      With respect, whether it’s different for the rest of the world, that’s not for you Americans to decide, it’s for the rest of the world.

      Fwiw, I actually agree that it is different.
