Americans wanted cheaper groceries, gas, … one candidate lied about the ease at which those changes could be made, just like he lies about everything else, and a shocking number of people bought it, again. They were conned by an expert conman with a lifetime’s experience conning.
I just don’t think the US is a serious country anymore. Any country that elects a man like Donald Trump for a few percent off their veggies (OK probably not veggies in America) and cheaper eggs is not a serious place. Shame, I really used to believe all that shit about a city on a hill!
