Promises

In 2016 Donald Trump promised that if elected he would make "America Great Again", (never mind that for some of us it was already great). So let's take a minute and assess how he has done after 3 plus years. 1. America is divided more than ever. 2. America's influence on the global stage has been diminished. 3. Respect for America by Allies and Enemies alike has declined and our international stature as a beacon of hope has been tarnished. Our trade deficit with China is at an all time high. 4. Our debt is at 28 trillion and counting. 5. Our economy is in worse shape with record unemployment. 6. One in five children go hungry in America. 7. The wealth gap has increased and purchasing power has decreased. 8. Violence and crime has increased. 9. Respect for societal norms and tolerance for individuality has declined. 10. Presidential decorum and Leadership is wallowing in conspiracy theories, derision of opponents, retribution and promotion of "alternative facts". 11. The very foundation of democratic principles and institutions have been brought into question. 12. Racial discord is the highest since the 60's.

I could go on but point made. So what is Trump's legacy to date in Making America Great Again? Let me hear from you. Keep in mind however that Making America great again does not mean promoting once partisan agenda and reelection chances. making America Great Again means being a leader and advocate for all of America, not just for those who voted for trump and profess fealty.
