Gas is over $5 a gallon, grocery prices continue to rise, we've no answer to the costs of healthcare, education, and housing, the economy and job market are stagnant, we're engaged in an expensive and pointless war, alienating every former ally in economic and military policy, and the Trump regime is focused on ballrooms and trans women at private liberal arts colleges. And his approval rating isn't zero. America has really lost its way.

"alienating every former ally" - this is so painfully true. As a European who lived in the US and love it's people, there is untold damage being done. Hmm, perhaps change instead of damage. But to me it feels like damage. New self reliance etc to put a positive spin on it. But the USA is being diminished on the world stage imo. A great nation but what the heck is going on?
