We were murdering middle eastern children at a wild rate, Citizens United still let companies have way too much political power, and we were installing dictatorships worldwide for decades

I’m tired of entry level job markets disappearing, constant threats to invade Greenland or Venezuela, a child sex scandal that only gets worse and worse, warrantless raids where ppl get to foreign prison camps who’ve lived and worked here for decades. This shit is pure evil

All Trump has done is take what most other presidents did for decades and started doing it in the homeland

Maybe you should go read about it instead of pretending like all of our economic problems are brand new
