"We export a vision of America that doesn't exist". DID IT EVER?

    I like to think it did! But perhaps we were believing what we wanted or needed to believe.. I know the image I had of America - fair, treating others well, great with respecting kids. Perhaps that WAS a lie.. we bought from tv where presenters said, 'Great job' to kids... 

    The image really fell apart some time ago.. Trump supporters don't like it and get mad, then start hurling insults, but Obama DID do a lot to repair the image and reputation of America - worldwide we began again to see America as  land of reason and reasonableness.. Perhaps THAT was the lie! :( 

    Either way, Trump supporters again will disagree and will hurl insults, but since Trump, and every event since, including the recent riots, have painted an image of a very divisive and divided place - with some elements that are downright questionable.. those who defend the president's lying and bad behaviour - it cannot help but make the rest of the world think that the country is lawless, run by people who have questionable agenda, and who are very white supremacist.

    Our thinking too, pretty universally, is incredulity - that such an aberration could a) be elected, b) REMAIN in power despite his appalling lies, and behaviour and C) despite FACTUALLY and CLEARLY being of incredibly LOW intelligence and ability. This all casts question on the intelligence, the morals, and the ability of the people who let this happen. 

    :(

    Oh and .... Trump is quoted as saying... Internationally people are laughing at Sleepy Joe.. NO Mr Trump, that's not the case, we ARE laughing, mixed with disgust and revulsion, at you and your actions.  This post was edited by Adaydreambeliever at June 1, 2020 3:57 AM MDT

    FYI when I see your moniker I always smile and I know I'm going to be glad we spent some time together! I will tell you m'dear what you said in that last paragraph (one very very very long sentence) is 100% true  and sad ..especially"It cannot help but make the rest of the world think that the country is lawless, run by people who have questionable agenda, and who are very white supremacist". The lawless comes from the fake AG William Barr pretzelizing the law to fit the corpulent obese "commander in chief". As the alleged top lawyer in the land for the country's best interest the Attorney General has abrogated all duty all conscience all credibility as he crawls on his belly to please the don of johns. Allegedly once upon a time the fake attorney general was very well respected. He legalizes what the madman wants and that is that. The senate majority is pro don johns so it is spineless brainless and a witting co-conspirator to a madman. We sit and watch and wait for someone with power to right wrongs. So far no good. Hope thee and thine are fine Addb and Happy  Monday! :)

    No...Your country was stolen from its indiginous people by other far advanced countries that should have known better....I'm England you could hang for stealing an apple...Our Royality could steal countries ,rape and pillage freely and that completely legal and ok...
    The one with the biggest sword makes all the rules Rosie.  America to nowadays wants to set the rules...some may be good ,others not so.....
    What we need is a world organization of educated environmentally friendly scholars and scientists to have a far stronger voice that we all should take advice from and follow the best we can....

    Agreed, absolutely... but this in a world where Trump and therefore in his name AMerica, has separated from the World Health Oganisation, pulled out of the climate change group, etc etc etc etc..
