All the commentary on this subject shows an amazing lack of honesty. The reason that #usa isn’t ‘great’ in America is because of Reagan’s #trickledown economics. Exported around the world.
If #trump wanted to make America great he would have increased taxes on the rich back up to 60% instead of #tariffs. America will continue the slide to look like Russia in the 70s as infrastructure continues the #fallout4 makeover and manufacturing is just cheap crap.
Other country leaders should take note. If you want to build an army you need money and it is being stashed in those rich people’s coffers.
