@@iloveyouall277 Actually it is a a long story, first Americans were disquasted by British pressure to overthrow him as he ousted them from the oild corp that they built there and had 51%. It changed in 50s with Eisenhower and Churchil was worried that they will support raising Communist party and supply cheap oil to natiinal socialists/ commumists which would be catasthophic during Vold war. They believed he will join communists. It is not easy to understand but you know it was after Europe faced 2 deadly wars and i think americans considered communism to be like fassism or nazi, and if enemy had free oil reserved there would be no help.

[@nickhaviland500]

Have you seen the state this country is currently in? Where the media fuels racial violence and condones rioting, where we have an utterly incompetent, dementia patient in the White House, who abandoned allies in Afghanistan, caused the highest rate of inflation in 40 years, took away the energy independence Trump obtained for us, and is now provoking war with Russia, and where our young people are taught in school that race is the primary factor that determines the quality of life you can expect, and that you can choose your sexuality on a whim? Wake up. Our country is NOT currently great. Trump had us on track, refusing to be bought by the deep state, which now has its claws firmly embedded in Beijing Biden, it’s “bought and paid for” candidate. If you call this greatness, I shudder at your idea of abject failure.

[@nickhaviland500]

And Trump didn’t become rich from aT.V show initially, but even if he did, so what? Apparently hosting a reality TV show better prepares a candidate for the Presidency than 50 years as a senator…Regan was an actor before he was President, and he did s as Damn good job as well, so I’m not making the connection here.

@@josueescalante2885 That's because there is VERY little good to show. Trump is a moron, who is largely responsible for failing to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the USA, as well as additional lists of idiotic things he has done. The news simply states the facts as they are. I rarely see nightly news reports about Trump that call him "stupid" or "idiotic" or any other insult- they simply state his actions, which, I have to say, are usually so moronic he puts himself in a bad light without needing our help.
