I agree that is is not the Greatest Country (And I love most of his speech), but the idea that it ever used to be is also why we have Trump.
We need to stop with this nostalgic idea of going back to when we were "great", and move forward and be better than we ever were before.
Course, that idea's probably out the window now too. We'll have to settle for not burning ourselves to the ground.
