Make America Great?

When America Stopped Being Great is a historic chronicle of the past fifty years how America come to stop even with Trump campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”, an idea stolen from Patrick Buchanan twenty five years prior. A black two terms president is proud of his Obamacare and killing of bin Ladan but racial equality did not improve. As Nick said in the book: rather than an aberration, Trump’s presidency marked the culmination of wrongs in the past decades – economically, racially, politically, culturally, technologically and constitutionally. Democracy become ugly as militia intended to abduct the governor as she did her virus shut down. Mr. Trump motivated his supporters with arms in attempting to change the fair and open presidential election. American will send American to help American for the sake of democracy – it is an insurrection with gun barrels! He even claims presidential right to refuse his war room direction documents. He demand government officials loyal to him personally not the constitution. When did America degenerate into a Trump authoritarian Dynasty? This book is a wake up call: United we stand, Divide we fall, red and blue, yin and yang, republican and democrat, United States or Disunited States?
