It should be seen as an insult by Trump and any American who survived the cold war.

(118,659 posts)5. GOP has no longer supported the President in foreign affaires. They are so desperate
that their base don't enjoy a bright, resolute, calm, strong, ninja president. And their base is dying of drugs or alcoholism. Why...they can't be proud of America under Obama...they are blocked from feeling that. The economy was not good for the first 7 years of Obama's presidency. The GOP blocked that too. Both are reasons why families fall apart and drugs and alcohol become problems. Both are hurting the base. But rich people don't pay taxes so that is a good thing in GOP eyes. It is all they care about.
