(82,849 posts)In case any of your Trumper friends are wondering why you don't fall down in adoration at the feet of their hero, that's it in a nutshell: The United States is totally unreliable. While that might make for interesting reality show television, it's no way to govern a country, particularly one that styles itself as the leader of the free world and the greatest nation on earth. Our word is not our bond, and every other country knows it.
