Donald Trump’s vision of doom and despair in America
By Jenna Johnson July 21 at 6:00 AM
CLEVELAND The Republican presidential convention this week has highlighted Donald Trumps view of America and it sounds like a terrible, terrible place.
In Trumps eyes, the United States is practically a third-world country with crumbling roads, aging bridges and decrepit airports. Its led by stupid people even Mexico has smarter leaders, he says and the entire world is laughing at America and its depleted military. Cities have exploded with violence; Islamic State fighters posing as refugees might attack at any moment; and the economy is doing lousy, with a real unemployment rate that could be eight times higher than the official one.
Trump even compared the health of the nation to a friend who is dying of cancer and is barely holding on.
If we dont get tough, and if we dont get smart, and fast, were not going to have our country anymore, Trump said in a recent policy speech. There will be nothing, absolutely nothing, left.
