The Rise and Fall of the USA

I lived through this personally, since I was born in 1936. experienced its peak in the Fifties, and can see its decline under Trump. 

Americans are now saying, as loudly as they can: "There is nothing wrong with us!" When not far under the surface, they know they are finished. 

They know this is true, even as they deny it with all their strength. 

A short review of our recent history is in order here, beginning with the presidency of Obama. He made great speeches but accomplished little. 

Trump was elected in his place. What was going on here? A lot of things, and they all fit together. But cannot be explained by one word only. 

We have to say instead "The World has gone to Hell, and taken America with it!"
