Alexis De Tocqueville wrote in "Democracy in America" in 1835: "While the European endeavors to forget his domestic troubles by agitating society, the American derives from his own home that love of order which he afterwards carries with him into public affairs." This is the America that was lost starting in 1898. The focus would not be on taking care of your nation, but instead by agitating the world. In 2025, America is morally and economically bankrupt as a result of being obsessed with dictating everything to the world....and then bombing those who don't want to be dictated to. Trump has not changed this one iota. He wants to preserve the bankrupt version of America. Maybe give it a few more puffs of oxygen. But unless we let go of being the world dictator, and return to caring for ourselves, and setting a good example for the world, we will never be great again.
