The president of the United States bragging about his popularity in a foreign country. Im 99% in Israel. Unmentioned is the fact that hes 35% in the United States. Thirty-five percent support from Americans, the people he pledged to represent, to fight for, whose side he promised to take in every conflict, foreign and domestic. And yet, there he is, bragging about how popular he is in a foreign country, the same country that got us into the war that is, to some extent, causing his unpopularity in this country, speaking of cold-hearted globalist betrayals.
Now, you could say, Thats just Trump searching for affirmation where he can. Unpopular at home, he retreats into the fantasy of his popularity in another country. Well yes, true. But its not a one-time exhibition of this. That president has spent the last year looking outward toward the approval of other nations. That president has spent the last year fighting for people who are not his voters and in many cases, not even American and allowing his own country to languish.
The last year has not made America great again. The last year has diminished American power at a rate some of us thought was unimaginable. We couldnt have foreseen, less than a year and a half ago
the damage that this administration led by that president, for whom we campaigned and liked personally could do to this country

We were pooh-poohed when we sounded the alarm. Now those of you were his biggest cheerleaders are running smack dab into reality, and it hurts, don't it?
