He settled for $25 Million and walked away with $150 Million. Trump increased the National debt so Big (even before the pandemic) that it will weigh down the U.S. economy for years. 7.8 trillion. It amounts to about $23,000 in new federal debt for every person in this country. The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third biggest increase of any U.S. presidential administration. Unlike Abraham Lincoln or George W. Bush, Trump did this without any foreign conflicts or having to pay for a civil war.

The Charter schools movement. These policies are usually driven by conservatives and GOP who want to break down all government functions. Then they say, "See! Government doesn't work!". THEN all that govt funding goes into the pockets of their cronies in the private for-profit sector.

    Being a hypocrite once used to make people question their behavior (2:47), now people just double down and use it as a way of showing you resilience...there is no general accountability or held values anymore. As long as you trigger an emotional response that is enough for people, ridiculous.....

      You have to remember, Trump lost the popular vote in 2016. He won the election in 2016 through a convoluted and archaic election process referred to as the electoral college. That means more Americans voted against Trump than for him in 2016. Even more Americans voted against him in 2020. The Republicans know this and see the pattern. This explains the new tactic of discouraging voters that are on the fence about even getting out to vote, rigging the ballot counting process and pushing election doubt. They cannot win a presidential election fairly. A minority party has no choice but to keep all eligible voters from participating or change the rules. Basic math proves this.

    The only time i’ve seen this sort of intense, emotion based belief system has been with fringe religious types and thankfully that’s quite rare in the UK. The scary thought for me is you cannot debate or rationalise with fervent belief and in our own history in the UK, it rarely has turned out well when fundamentalists get power.

      As Americans, it has been programmed into us over and over that we are the greatest most righteous people to ever walk the earth. So, most (without ever doing a scrap of research) just think that Canada (or anywhere else really) would roll out the red carpet despite having little to no skills (or anything useful) to contribute to the country they want to escape to.
