    So far, I don't see any significant claim. Tens of millions without insurance? That has been true for a long time. More unequal and divided? More than what? How much more? And your third point is pure speculation.

    Beyond that, what is happening in the US is about authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Trump is a threat to the core principles of liberty and democracy. And he is a threat to the world. This is the same sickness that swept through Germany before WWII.

    Far more than prophesy, I am seeing a rerun of the same old devil - fanatical. irrational exuberance for evil. I knew that the day trumpers cheered for the mass murder of tens of thousands of innocent people, and extreme torture. There is no other name for it - EVIL!

    All the rest is just noise. We saw the core of the trump movement right then and there.

    The democratic socialist government pitch is the prime example of big government. You can't control everything and tax everything without government being a cancerous, carnivorous monster.
    Explain how they would pull off crap like the "new green deal", having all college free, universal health care, support every immigrant that walks in uninvited.

    People usually deny or belittle things they don't understand, and clearly the left doesn't have a clue as to how good government would work, but they are full of confidence in their imagination.

    There will never be civil war here. People are not ready for that hardship. If Wi-Fi goes out for 30 minutes it's a federal event. Could you imagine having to go without a bath for three weeks?

    No, he even stands for big government against big (and small) business with his protectionism. Protectionism is, by definition, big government intervention. Trump loves big government intervention when it goes his way. He was the only R running who cheerleaded eminent domain. He's circumvented the Constitution with his tariffs. Lol, no. He was probably the biggest government R running.

    I gave you the examples of his tariffs. Try addressing those before asking for more.

    So how is that anything new? You actually believe tariffs are something new? And eminent domain, how in the hell do you think the railroad was built :)

    Jesus man! Do some history LOL

    Trump doesn’t stand for anything. He does not care if government is big or small, as long as he and his hangers on get their rake offs.

    Typical Trumpster deflection. Trying to ignore the specifics and falsely pretend that what Trump is doing is part of some normal trend.

    You don’t really expect anyone to take you seriously with a dodge like that, do you?

    Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal (JCPOA) with Tehran struck by the Obama administration, which permanently barred Iran from making a nuclear weapon. The agreement was working, but Trump decided to punish Iran for being in compliance with the JCPOA and he ratcheted up sanctions on the Iranians.

    On May 5th Trump threatened Iran with a battleship-carrier strike group. On May 10th Trump threatened Iran again with a second display of force: built around the U.S.S. Arlington and a battery of Patriot missiles. During all this, Iran is accused of mining six ships, but no serious damage was done and no one was hurt.

    Then Iran called Trump's bluff. On June 20 Iran shot down a $110 million RQ-4A Global Hawk High-Altitude, Long, Endurance (HALE) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). Trump responded with useless sanctions against the Ayatollah and his generals.

    Since then this is what has happened since July First.

    Iran has breached the limit on its stockpile of low-enriched uranium set under a 2015 nuclear deal.

    Then Iran breached a crucial limit on the level of uranium enrichment set out in the 2015 nuclear deal, going from 3.67% to over 4.5%.

    Britain seized an Iranian tanker bound for Syria.

    Yesterday, the USS Boxer brought down an Iranian drone.

    Iran seized two British tankers today.

    Thank you, Mr. President.

    Oh, in case anyone is wondering, the eight-year long Iraq war with its nearly 5,000 dead Americans, 25,000 wounded Americans, and over one million dead Iraqi civilians would be a walk in the park compared to a war with Iran with her sophisticated air force, sophisticated ballistic missiles, effective anti-ship cruise missiles, and her proxy forces throughout the Middle East, many within the same grid square as American bases.

    Mr. President, how stupid can you be?

    A poster recently asked, what exactly is a racist? A white, college educated businessman from a northern state will answer it one way.

    A white, college deficient farmer from the South will answer it a different way.

    I can't tell you what a racist is, but I know one when I see one.

    Speaking of which, President Trump visited a southern state recently to spread his racial hatred.

    Referring to the four women of color, newly elected Democratic members of the House of Representatives, Trump told a packed arena, “These left-wing ideologues see our nation as a force for evil.” To roaring applause, he railed against what he called “hate-filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down.”

    “They don’t love our country,” he said. “I think, in some cases, they hate our country. You know what? If they don’t love it, tell them to leave it.”

    After Trump reeled off several controversial comments made by Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, including accusations in which he depicted her as sympathetic to Al Qaeda, his adoring admirers began to chant “Send her back.”

    For thirteen long seconds, Trump listened to the chant, a smirking grin on his face, obviously proud he had caused the chorus from the massive crowd of mostly southerners. He did not say another word until the chant finally died down.

    Then came the morning after and the inevitable lies began.

    Facing an onslaught of indignation and qualms even from his inner circle, Trump claimed to be unhappy his rally crowd broke into chants of "send her back."

    "I was not happy with it. I disagree with it," Trump said at the White House a day after the rally, attacking those who attended his rally. Brilliant.

    In a blatant lie, Trump told reporters he “started speaking very quickly” in an attempt to silence the rally attendees. He is on video with a shyt-eating grin on face listening to the chant for thirteen seconds until it dies out. How stupid can you be?

    In another blatant lie that only his base could possibly believe, Trump casually said, "I didn't say that. They did."

    “So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

    How stupid can you be?

    Trump lies so easily now.

    Throughout his entire Presidency, Trump has wanted it both ways. He thinks he is being clever. He thinks he's bulletproof because he has all the bases covered.

    Actually, he makes himself look foolish and confused. Combined with his penchant for changing his mind in an instant, Trump seems unable to commit to anything. Even if that means attacking his own fans. "I was not happy with it. I disagree with it," Trump said at the White House a day after his Wednesday rally, attacking those who attended the rally.

    In a tweet today, once again he took both sides.

    As you can see, I did nothing to lead people on, nor was I particularly happy with their chant. Just a very big and patriotic crowd. They love the USA! https://twitter.com/kthopkins/status/1151738558501330945 …

    So, first he says he was not happy with his adoring admirers. Then he defends them by saying they are patriotic.

    Trump lied on national television. "I did nothing to lead people on," .

    “They don’t love our country,” Trump said at the rally just before the chant. “I think, in some cases, they hate our country. You know what? If they don’t love it, tell them to leave it.”

    Trump then reeled off several controversial comments concerning Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, including accusations in which he depicted her as sympathetic to Al Qaeda. His adoring admirers responded by chanting “Send her back.”

    Are these the words of a man of good mental health?

    There are serious doubts Trump will be reelected. Trump is his own worst enemy, and he is busy destroying his own administration and the Republican Party that is afraid to rein him in.
