How is democracy going up in smoke? We’ve had elections since Trump got elected. Our democracy is fine. How is he wreaking havoc? Destroying the environment? How exactly?

As far as our reputation abroad, America is three times more powerful than the next most powerful nation (China). No matter who was president, on a bipartisan basis, we have seldom cared what other nations think. They depend on our economy not the other way around. We bark, they cower. We growl, they run. That’s been the bipartisan American way since we whipped Germany and Japan in WWII.
