"Gloom And Doom" AKA Chiken Little.

       Well after last week I almost did believe the sky was falling. But no, Donald, the sky isn't falling. It was simply twilight. It happens every day, but don't worry, it'll rise again in the morning. I promise. And then what about America? Has it fallen so far that it'll take a dictator-like leader to make it great again? Is there no hope that a free America can make it on its own? Or is America already great? Is it true that the Great Recession is all over? Are we truly well on the road to greatness without you?
       That Kenyan who was elected President twice has helped lead us out from under the frightening weight of the Great Recession and with the help of The Hated, Hillary, we've once again become a nation our allies can have confidence in and our enemies disrespect us only to find their path forward blocked in many ways. Its a far better way than war. We're no longer starting wars because our V.P. wants some country's oil for his company, we're just not starting them.
       And while I'm at it, Pres. Putin is not someone to admire. Better to keep a close eye on him, but not out of respect. You seem to place admiration of political strongmen who are in fact brutal dictators, high on your list of folks to emulate. Please prove to us that I'm wrong. And hey, a huge wall between us and Mexico? You don't seem to understand how much that kind of structure would cost. Even if Mexico wanted to pay for it, they couldn't afford it and neither could we.
       And did you know that violent crime has been decreasing over the last decade or more? No we haven't eliminated crime, but it's not as dark a picture as you paint. Nor is our economy so bleak as you claim. Only income and opportunity inequality are holding us back. Jobs are beginning to return, yes even from China.
       So stop running around and shouting at the top of your lungs, the end is near. The end hasn't been written for us as yet. Unless you're talking about your chances.
