How Trump has Changed Us Trumpโ€™s greatest gift to America this year was to liberate people to be their worst selves.

'Irrelevance comes for all of us. When Trump is a clapped-out political Liberace honoring himself at benefits in his Mar-a-Lago ballroom, the legacy of his traumatic presidency will be a rotting pile of red capsโ€”and the way the game is played."--Tina Brown open.substack.com/pub/tinabrow...

Trump had this to say to holiday shoppers who are concerned about high prices: "Look, don't be dramatic." Trump is completely out of touch with every day reality, with the real issues that confront Americans and is oblivious to the fact that it is his policies causing this.

The USA, which was previously Dr. Jekyll that rescued Europe, has now become Mr. Hyde, who is intimidating & threatening Europe with demands while weakening NATO to help the Russians and using the Russian Plan to defeat & prevent Ukraine from defending itself.

Has Trump made the USA evil?
