Unfortunately, Donald Trump is very American. That speaks poorly of America, but it's true.

He is, of course, also very Anti-American.
As are many Americans, as evidenced by them crowning him their god-king.

The past 40 years of neoliberal greed is good, profit first culture.
The Republicans and their anti-society neoliberal economic ideas are a cancer on America.

Before Reagan, Falwell, etc. were just a useful subset of the republican base with no clout. Everything changed with Reagan and now look where we are. An anti-science idiocracy. And it's all thanks to Ronald Reagan. I call him "The Happy Horror."

If something happens that somehow benefits the American people, he re-check his books because obviously something went wrong.
