Making America Alone Again.

       Can you imagine? President Trump and his friends in Congress and around the country are still touting that slogan "Make America Great Again." Make America great again? Its hardly happening. A more appropriate chant would be "Make America Alone Again."
       A country's greatness is measured by how much it shows leadership and in that arena Trump has transformed America into a country without a plan to lead, but a country to stand apart and belittle anyone willing to take up the standard. You don't lead by calling foreign leaders nasty names. You don't lead by pointing out other country's faults. Especially when you've got far too many of your own. Disparaging another hardly makes you a leader.
       While Trump may have helped some Americans with his misunderstandings of how to deal with countries, it has hurt others, some immeasurably. And it has caused such unpleasantness among our own people that it borders on violence. That's not greatness. It's not great to constantly beat up on the other guy.
       He won the election. The economy is doing well. Its fair to mention you've done what you promised, even if what you promised wasn't what America needs, but to suggest Americans treat other Americans harshly isn't great. Just like treating other countries harshly isn't great. But it will make you lonely. He's Making America Alone Again.
