7. I always thought when tRump first began using that phrase and tossing hats

with MAGA stitched on them, that Americans of all stripes should have been insulted. How dare he tell us we are not a great country? Yes, we have our sins and bad decisions to atone for, but all in all millions of us live a pretty decent life. There are those who don’t and it would be wrong to sugar coat that but all around the world there are places where it is not perfect. But the people there do the best they can. So it is with America. Not perfect but it is our country, our birthplace (or adopted home). The next time tRump starts in with that tired, untruthful rhetoric, it needs to be met with stone silence and steely eyed glares. It is wrong for him to denigrate us that way and has been all along. It still floors me that people in his audience would go along with that crap. Have someone insult you to your face and then cheer for the guy....Talk about sheep....
