To US voters: you reap what you sow. Next time, vote wiser.

  I agree, and we have at least 3.5 more years left for this. Plus I believe foreign visitors to the US will continue to decrease as Trump doubles down on this crazy policies. The funny thing is, except for maybe NYC, most tourists tend to go to red states, where these businesses will get no support from their state gov. This is winning I guess /s

  If free and fair elections survive, I expect we will. If not, this will likely be a lifelong lesson on the decline of a nation. The last such threat to the nation ended with FDR's death, and before that, the end of the Civil War. I hope we'll get another chance.

    FDR? FDR did spawn many (controversial) programs/agencies but he also got (the world) through WW2. There's something to be said for that. He also picked a pretty good VP. Yes, he overstayed his welcome, but his death in office wasn't something that people were necessarily looking forward to & his funeral was a very somber affair. Can we say the same thing about the Imperial Cheeto in Chief?
