Trump's "Make America Great Again" Failure

 






The MAGA  cultists wear their red hats saying "Make America Great Again."

They refuse to see the truth:

Trump has done the EXACT opposite.

China is viewed more favorably than is the US, thanks to Trump's anti-democracy, authoritarian policies.

Also, his obvious stupidity and malignant narcissism combined with his horrible personal morality.

I'm not surprised.

Is anyone? 






People in Many Countries Now View China More Positively Than the U.S. 


More also have confidence in Xi than Trump, according to a survey in three dozen countries



For the first time in nearly 2 decades, a new Pew Research survey—based on interviews with more than 42,000 people across 36 countries—shows China is viewed more favorably than the United States in most nations surveyed. 


 "This is a story driven more by an American decline in soft power than by a Chinese surge," writes expert Yanzhong Huang.

 "President Trump’s authoritarian tendencies have badly damaged the United States’ image, but so long as American institutions and rule of law endure, respect for U.S. democracy and diplomacy could plausibly recover under a more conventional future administration."






The text below was sent to me in an email. It's an answer on social media to a MAGA who was bragging about Trump making America great again.

Trump wasn't the one who used the USIC and overthrew over a 100 governments with its' post-USSR USAID colour revolution strategy for former Soviet affiliated States and proxies.

Trump was seemingly trying to reverse those disasterous NED/NDI/IRI/USIP Democracy building (irony) ventures before BiBi sucked him into Iran... and now backing Zelinskyy

We do NOT need a more conventional future administration. The conventional democratic administration is equally as supportive of a failing predatory capitalist system. An economic system that favors wealth accumulation at the very top at the expense of the working class and the working poor. The politics of the conventional democratic party supports the capitalist class every bit as much as the now fascist republican party.

The ONLY thing that will save this rapidly declining Empire is a complete break with the past conventional democractic AND republican ideologies and policies that have constantly supported the ruling capital class and the ignorant MIC. A complex feeding the capital class responsible for destruction and death.

This nation's continuing support for the butchering genocidal Zionist state of Israel and its Greater Israel bulls**t makes us as guilty as the stinking Zionists.

Frankly, being an American today, under present circumstances (created by We the People) is as likely to bring shame as pride.

Unlikely, but possible - Dems win house and senate, impeach the sitting Prez.
Then they have the ICE men rough him up and deport him to Iran. What a pleasant dream.

Your points above, less your support for trump the fascist, I find myself in partial agreement with you, Thersites.

Well, Les, maybe what they mean by a "more conventional future administration" is one that doesn't have a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter/rapist as the head of the government. IOW someone who isn't a criminal and stupid.

At the very least, that would be a change from what the MAGA Republicans have given us.

As for a complete break with the ruling capital class and MIC, well, that will take generations. But it must change.
