He has rarely been to them, after a navy seals father shamed him, he stopped going during his first presidency, the alleged commander-in-chief cant go to soldiers that died serving their countries repatriation ceremonies, he doesn't support them in life after they retire and he doesn't give one bit of a toss for them if they die in the line of duty, "Losers and suckers," He said of veterans, soldiers lost in wars, and POWs.
Not to mention doge and their deep cuts to veterans jobs and services, just a disgrace from the top down this administration, and i can say that without fear of deportation to an El Salvadorean prison, can any American say the same?
Because i am Canadian, the TRUE land of the free and home of the brave, America has lost the right to that moniker.

Half the country absolutely hates this Admin and checks the news every morning hoping that the President died overnight.

If and when this experiment goes tits up, I see no future without mass turmoil and violence, frankly.
Like wtf are they on? Nobody is willing to sacrifice for Trump beyond the 30% that sold their souls to him.
And when some big ass thing blows up because a bunch of people lost their jobs or have to pay $50 for a latte, and somebody pops off over it, half the country is going to be shocked and the other half will shrug or silently cheer.
This is the most predictable turn of events in American history, if it goes down that way.
A foreign adversary could not orchestrate a better collapse of the United States if they tried.

The irony is kind of wild.
Guy says “losing money means nothing” as if economics and national power aren’t deeply linked. But a country loses its relevance when:
- Its economy collapses
- Its currency weakens
- Investors flee
- Allies stop trusting it
- It becomes isolated in global trade
That’s how you actually "lose your country" in the modern world.Through economic decline, instability, and global irrelevance. Economic power is the foundation all other power relies on (like military, diplomatic, or cultural)because, you know, MONEY.
It’s pretty damn ironic they call themselves “America First,” considering the U.S. has been the richest, most successful nation in modern history. It's been because of global trade, economic alliances, and open markets.

In a sense it's true because everything a person owns is contingent on the government running the area the property is located in. Governments were originally created to protect property rights from people with greater numbers and weapons playing a zero sum game(invasions, raping and pillaging, etc). It's still happening today but the systems are way more sophisticated. Just not sophisticated enough to prevent sadists and psychopaths from climbing the leadership ladder and harming people for pleasure. Which looks a lot like fair governance some times.
