Perhaps our head-in-the-sand president and his band of eager believers might want to acknowledge that we need the rest of the world just as it needs us. Here are two questions for them: 1) What happens when and if we need help from countries that Trump has alienated with his antics? And 2) How does the world laughing at us help with the whole “Make America Great Again” thing?
I’ve said it before and it bears repeating: Whenever Trump’s supporters are confronted with these realities, their default response is, “Well, we know he’s not Mother Teresa, but unemployment is down and stocks are up.” It’s acceptable, then, to lower our standards with such a trade-off? It’s OK to have a president who surrounds himself with felons and corner-cutting grifters? Who is genetically incapable of instilling pride in more than just a small subset of the country? Who mocks the ethos that once made us the envy of the world?
This is why even a roaring economy can’t lift Donald Trump’s numbers.
