At some point, I expected people to realize that this was because of the USA's foreign policy and immense thirst of oil, but no, Trump is the root of all evil. If we just got rid of him, America would be utopia once again.

Trump is more like the culmination of all evil, a person who doesn't need to take accountability for any action whose base will follow no matter the cost

Faaar too late by now. Even if Trump and all of his sycophants were arrested or killed today, the damage has been done. America has lost all of its soft power, its reputation, and its influence on the world stage. Its government has been gutted and compromised thoroughly, and has proven that it is always going to be just 1 election away from chaos. Why would other countries want to make deals with one that can do against them on a whim because they elected another nutjob? Why would other countries militarily rely on a country that can pull its troops and support suddenly because its president is compromised by the enemy?

As a Canadian, who once had respect for America and no longer does and likely won't for a very long time, I don't see America recovering without some significant structural changes to prevent this from happening again. And considering America was dumb enough to vote Trump in not once, but twice? I'm not holding my breath.

Well as an American I find it odd that you once had respect for America. But I agree otherwise.

That was back before I really understood anything regarding politics and how damaging America has been to the world at large. Unfortunately, a lot of that "RAA RAA MURICA BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD FREEDOM" bullshit gets spread around here thanks to our proximity and consumption of American media.

They use Trump to distract Americans from the whole problem, they use Americans to distract the rest of the west of the whole problem.

Billionaires do not have a country. They are stateless and they are coming for you.

Apparently, the Epstein group has actually been the root of all evil for some decades.

It has been for less time than the USA has been destroying the lives of innocent people world-wide, but the entire current culture about it comes from the pedofiles.
