You are a noted Historian. What do you write to preserve HONESTLY this moment in history vis a vis a Donald J. Trump? Will it be a blip, a footnote, a mention or much more? Why?

Because of what Trump said Vice-President Biden had to take a hurried trip to the Balkans to assure them that their relationship with America was unchanged NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAID. Biden tried to repair the damage done by the prez wannabe. Does the prez wannabe have no decency? Is there no low to which he will not go to get attention?

Right after 9/1l the Balkans (Estonia, Latvia, Lituania) triggered it and sent over a 100 troops to fight side-by-side with the Americans. Trump said he might not go in to the Balkans to help if Russia invaded. Which means those who helped us would not be helped by us. Which is why Vice President Biden had to take a hurried trip there to try to assure them that nothing anyone said would change the relationship between them and America. NOTHING ANYONE SAID. Oy vey. The mouth roars again! :( less
Who is THIS Trump anyway and how long will this one last before he flips to someone else? Of course the people born here are United States Citizens so how could he LEGALLY deport them?

Don't expect me to help or care because I won't and I don't. Don't bother me with your problems. I have problems of my own."
Isn't that the way it is today(mostly) in the USA? How not? Pockets of people who feel otherwise are derided,ridiculed and ignored. Was it always this way and those words in the Preamble were just boilerplate and didn't mean anything? Aren't words supposed to mean something? less
Turkish PM (or dictator, if you prefer) Tayyip Erdogan insists there isn't. I agree with him:

He also said the Cuban people didn't need anything from the empire (US).( Like a parent.) There is much history between the US and Cuba.
I am learning, from reading a lot, that other sources have called the US the American Empire. Are we an empire?
Is he really that abysmally ignorant? Does he really not know that war was a war of choice and CAUSED all the problems we have today? Why doesn't he attack/address THAT situation?... moreIs he really that abysmally ignorant? Does he really not know that war was a war of choice and CAUSED all the problems we have today?
