The Descent of America

Today, countries, Third World countries, are far less corrupt than the United States. Our leaders are far less dictatorial, and do not have a sense of superiority as America's Trump does. I remember about fifteen years ago Jamaica was pressured to turn a particular person over to America. The Prime Minister of the time sent the military into Tivoli Gardens to capture him. Sixty three Jamaicans were murdered by that incursion. Before reaction, the Prime Minister's Party phoned the Opposition and told them..."He will be gone in twenty four hours." In twenty four hours the PM had resigned, and was removed from every public corner. He was a humiliation for us, although he didn't do a fraction what Trump has done. Trump sends ICE into American cities. They kill people, capture them, beat them, lock them up. It is just a shrug in the US. How is it possible that a country that held itself up as the most democratic, controlled by the rule of law, can do such a thing and there is no response?

You tell me and we will both know. I am so enraged, embarrassed, humiliated and at a loss for words. I don't understand how this horrible person can get away with the atrocities he is continually getting away with. I used to be so proud of America and how it helped other countries and did good and positive things around the world. Not so anymore. Why people voted for him is beyond me. Why they let him continue to do the things he does is too. And, unlike the PM you wrote about, Trump will never resign. The rule of law seems to be a joke now. I wish I had some answers.

No one dares confront him. He has no morals, no way to convince him not to do things

@jaylar .......Nope. And all Americans can do is set and wring their hands and hope for the best. He doesn't see what the marches are trying to tell him. He is delusional.
