Trump Isn't Making America Great Again

Trump is providing the world with a preview of what he’ll do as president. From my perspective, He’ll make his own fake world for those who support him to inhabit, in which he’s always right and deserves credit and praise for everything good that happens anywhere, whether he had anything to do with it or not. If there’s positive news, he’ll say it happened because of him. If there isn’t any, he’ll just make something up and take credit for that. As we go forward in the world, you can expect Trump to regularly take credit for things that Obama did. Remember when he claimed that despite the fact that the official unemployment rate is below 5 percent, the real rate is more like 40 percent? Well, don’t be surprised if Trump says, “Unemployment is now under 5 percent Everyone is saying it’s because I’m making America great!”  Every president engages in an extended argument with his opponents about the state of the country, what its condition is, which situations are important and relevant, and where responsibility lies for the things that go right and those that go wrong. Trump won’t do this, at least not in the way we’re used to. He’ll create an entire alternate reality, one that has no relationship at all to the truth. The people of america has noticed these things and many are going on strike against him in the white House. Fortunately for him, his supporters already have plenty of practice convincing  themselves that the actual facts are just something stuck up and want to fool you into swallowing, and no fake story is too crazy to accept if it reinforces what you already believe.
