I made money and got a tax break. I would prefer things to go in a non Pat Robertson direction but c'est le vie'. I've lived through 18 presidents.

There are few surprises here. Trump is an abysmal leader with heinous vision and hobbled imagination
this shift in American leadership has clearly had an impact on how the world sees the U.S.: A median of 49% now give the U.S. a favorable rating, down from 64% in the Obama era.
only a few countries have positive views of Trump. In just eight of the 37 nations in the study, roughly half or more say they have confidence in Trump to do the right thing in world affairs.
Trump gets more negative ratings globally than Merkel, Xi or Putin. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is the only world leader included in the survey who receives more positive than negative reviews. Across the 37 nations polled, a median of 42% express confidence in her, while 31% say they lack confidence. Ratings for Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin are mostly negative, and Trump receives even more unfavorable assessments than both of them.

How i see it in the US is a damned crying shame. We are in a recession of dignity and a decay of our civilized society. We now have a third of the citizenry and a majority of congress that see nothing wrong with this, and even cheers our digression. We will need decades to recover from the damage to our standing in the world and to our moral fabric from the damage that has already been done. That is if we pull out of this nose dive... i still beleive he is capable of success in his persuit of autocracy...i dont know if our institutions that guard our democracy can withstand 4 to 8 years of this perpetual onslaught againt them...and Stockholm syndrome is no myth and can happen to entire societies... we arent too good for it to never being able to happen to us.
Does anyone not beleive the current congress, all trump supporters, and a majority of the gop in general would be fine with the ending of free and fair elections if it meant perpetual gop control with Trumpism as its mantra? Please point me to the evidence of the opposite! Is our fearless leader making any great campaign to protect our elections from foreign countries of any flag? A real threat to our democracy. Does the gop not already have a record, including a court record dating from recently back to 30 years ago, of having no moral issue with voter suppression of those groups that dont politically favor them?
Folks the republic is still in grave danger... thats how i see the last year from my front porch here in the US
