"More than 1.6 million immigrants have lost their legal status in the first 11 months of President Trump's presidency. "

Something akin to Handmaid's Tale is gradually appearing closer to become a reality for the country.

Make America Great Again by:

Suppressing industries which are the future. Abandon renewable energy technology, ceding the lead to other countries. Waste our efforts on obsolete industries like fissile fuels. Insure we are are irrelevant in energy industries in the 21st century.

Rather than set up a clean energy infrastructure, continue to depend on dirty sources which aside from being unsustainable and uneconomical will cost us additional money in increased health care costs and environmental clean-up costs.

While it is highly debatable if this country was ever truly 'Great', we once were the undisputable leader in science and technology. That lead translated to massive economic might which led to great military might and world influence. We have lost that edge over the last several decades. Now, stupid people like Trump and the idiots that support him somehow think we can regain that edge by rejecting science, rejecting future technologies and embracing past technologies which are no longer relevant.

Far from being on the cusp of a golden age, this country is a turd racing around the toilet bowl, hoping the drain will clog up before it swallows us.

I can't think of one decision Trump has taken that plays out to our national benefit. Can anyone help me out?

It looks to me like his every decision has America on the wrong path.

Biggest, bestest battleships ever: 30.000 tons
Roflmao

Yeah, the Russians and Chinese are laughing their asses off too.

These have been under design consideration for a long time, and it started with me in my first term, because I said, 'Why aren’t we doing battleships like we used to?

Because, you stupid fuck, there are these things called aircraft which rain down bombs and missiles on your giant, floating target. That's why we don't do battleships anymore. They were obsolete in WWII. The famous German battleship Bismarck was disabled by a WWI era biplane powered by a radial engine.

Unreliable. Creating more problems than solving them. A negative force on the world stage. This is how large shares of America’s closest allies view the U.S., according to new polling, as President Donald Trump pursues a sweeping foreign policy overhaul.

Note the emphasis on "white" when he repeats the words "Great White Fleet".
From what i have read, the new non-carrier ships are gonna be some enhanced version of Arleigh Burke class destroyers, with provisions for lasers *pew* pew* and nuclear missiles *boom* *boom*, displacing some 30.000t maybe. Wile arguably being more "powerful" than any previous "battleship", they are certainly not gonna be bigger. Cant wait for his reaction when former Fox-host will tell him about Yamato, Bismarck ....and Iowa .

I am so sorry for you. Your country is clearly being ruled by a big child, a megalomaniac one. The more i see and hear about him, the more i think he is very, very dangerous, to all of us.

"Golden Fleet", gimme a break 

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, there's so many reasons why this "battleship" will never get built -- lack of slipways, weapons that aren't actually functional, that whole drone issue, the need for more smaller platforms in order to spread combat power, and so on. It's a pipe-dream and even if Congress releases the funds, which they won't, it will get cancelled at great waste.

This is meant to be a monument to Trump's ego.
