    Default Nations Across The Globe Say America Is Becoming A ‘Third-World Country’ Under Trump

    I have said this for years, America is becoming a third world country with abject poverty, homelessness, and gross inequality?!! Four more years of Trump and we will become the India of the west!

    With the presidential election less than 40 days away, nations all over the world are in disbelief over the state of America under Donald Trump, saying the U.S. looks more like a third-world country than a global superpower.

    According to The New York Times, “Amid the pandemic and in the run-up to the presidential election, much of the world is watching the United States with a mix of shock, chagrin and, most of all, bafflement.”

    Despite Trump often inventing fake praise from world leaders, confidence in the United States has plummeted since he took office. His bungling of the pandemic and increasingly authoritarian rhetoric has made the world even more uneasy.

    From strictly a partisan political perspective if you’ve been saying for years that America is becoming a third world country why do you want a man who was VP during this run towards third world status to be at the helm?

    The Republicans have dragged America to poverty. Biden is one of the good guys fighting the GOP.

    The Obama years we were getting out of debt and starting to flourish after the wars flattened us during the W Bush years.

    The west coast, California in particular, is well on its way to 3rd world status. All the mismanagement of state funds through the last 30 years already put them in debt. Then the leftist regime that overtook Hollywood starting in the 70s killed their support as the rest of the country looked elsewhere for their entertainment and social needs. Then you got the first recession following 9/11, the second recession of 2008-2016 and then Coronavirus lockdown. All this about killed the western economy. The entire time the whole southwestern lot of states were continuously flooding with illegal immigrants adding an always increasing strain on both the economy and the social/cultural establishment of the area. Add on top of all of that the leftist regime in political power now legalizing theft and cannibalism and other horrible things and you can see how badly things are for California. As it slides into 3rd world status it will pull adjoining states with it and people trying to escape the horror will migrate east.

    I'm glad that I live nowhere near that hellhole.

    Oh yeah, and throw all those natural disasters on there and all the rioting and protests. End of the world scenario, really.

    Oh yeah, also, all the most important business are leaving the west coast, mostly California, in the thousands and have been doing so since 2015.

    Kind of belies the claim of the OP then doesn’t it? We were flourishing while heading to third world status?

    Is any of this Trumps fault? Not at all. His performance is great. He can't stop all the problems but hes done 10 times more than Obama did and reversed a lot of negative economical trends that Obama set. Until coronavirus of course. You can't blame him for civil unrest and the pandemics that caused it.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    You’re missing what I was responding too. Ken claims he said for years that we’ve been heading to third world status but then says vote for Biden who was VP for eight years while we were heading to third world status. At the end of the day people can vote for whomever they want and I’m not saying vote for Trump but I am saying Ken’s point, along with crocodiles, contradict.

    Trump inherited a vibrant and growing economy from Obama. His accomplishment for over a year and a half was taking credit for it. He still does that. However, his total mismanagement of Corona destroyed it. It is still a mess with huge unemployment and people suffering. He is responsible for 200,000 deaths because he chose to downplay the virus.
    The civil unrest is due to phone cameras. The minorities have told us for many years the cops were beating and killing them for sport. Now they have it on videos. Trump actually could have mitigated that problem, but he sees no profit in that for him.
