Again stop making me defend Trump even in minor ways but this is right and it started pre Trump, he hasn't helped but its not like it can be blamed on him either.
We're not blaming the country's entire decline on Trump, just the recent acceleration of the decline. A country can't be brought as low as this in less than a decade unless it was already pretty low to begin with, but when a new factor causes an existing problem to accelerate, then that variable can certainly be blamed for the acceleration, along with the other variables that also play into the problem as a whole.
Trump is to blame for our country's decline, and so are republicans as a whole, and so are billionaires, and so are a bunch of other groups of people and many other variables.
Him being in power twice is a symptom.
... Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and blame the catastrophic decline on Trump. Sure, Fox News, Reagan, Citizens United, and a hundred other distracted disasters preceded Trump, but that Nazi shitbag has driven the U.S. straight off a cliff. The damage from his hand selected supreme court alone is terrifying.
The biggest decline actually happened this term and especially in foreign policy. Some of the things he did no longer can be recovered.
It also looks like it's pretty much certain that he won't defend Taiwan which will lead to another unrepairable damage.
He put oil on fire.
I mean... there was a broader decline already sure. But no one has done more to accelerate it than this man. So I think it is fair to blame it on him.
nobody is making you, it's a choice
lights your house on fire, it burns to the ground "it's not like I'm to blame for this" --your logic
House was already on fire so no your analogy is inaccurate.
"I didn't start it so why should I stop it"
"yeah, what he said!"
and these people vote, jfc
Nobody said the blame is on Trump alone. Xi doesn't imply it. Trump is even spinning it like the us would be way worse if it weren't for him. The people who believe it is Trumps fault aren't there, they're here lurking in the comment section. So, if you don't want to defend Trump maybe don't waste your time doing it? It's not like you could fix everything that is wrong or untrue om the internet. I've been trying and so far i haven't really gotten anything meaningful in return lol, maybe some friendly advise at most.
That obese child rapist wouldn't defend you in anything, at all, ever. You're not rich enough for a disgusting blob of gonorrhoea like that to even think about, and even then you'd have to pay for that orange thing to defend you.
So are you really sure you want to be known as a tRUMP defender?
Defending this take yes not Trump at all , Trump is right when he says the sky is blue for example. It doesn't help us to make up stuff to hate him for when there is plenty already there.
Sweet, you are now a tRUMP defender.
Well done you. Wear your moniker with pride.
