Is America the Worst Country in the World?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

When I was very young, I believed the lies politicians continue to tell us today: “America is the greatest country in the world.” Our nation is young, and continues to have problems which must be addressed before anyone can consider that claim valid.

The fact that not only the worst president in history won two ‘rigged’ elections, but also the worst man in the world, proves that our country is far from ever becoming a great and respected nation.

Our government began its decline in 1981, and today is the worst and most corrupt in the world of developed nations. This situation began with Reagan and the destruction of the dream of our Founding Fathers was completed in 2017 with the inauguration of Donald John Trump.

Stop pretending: you know what I know. Not a single person willing to tell the truth can find anything good to say about the obese 79-year-old man pretending to be your president.

It is an undeniable fact that between 2017 and 2021 Trump committed crimes including Constitutional violations which greatly harmed our nation’s future. He did nothing to improve the quality of life for our nation’s future. In 2025, “Trump 2.0” is 100 times worse.

The truth is, not once in his 79 years has he done a single thing for another person, including his own family and closest associates.

“When politics is no longer a mission but a profession, politicians become more self-serving than public servants.” Emmanuel Macron

In June of 2015, Trump became a professional politician, although he had no experience in anything other than as a con man, a thief, a sexual predator, and a serial philanderer.

The mainstream media and nearly every politician on both sides of the aisle in the Capitol Building lack the courage to do the right thing for their country, and in fact have become hypocrites.

There was a time, when I was half my age, when I had respect for some men and women in Washington. I trusted these few public servants to perform their jobs as intended and listen to the needs and wishes of all Americans.

Some self-righteous politicians claim that our presidents deserve our respect simply because they are allowed to claim that title. They are very mistaken.

I have two criteria for any man or woman I choose to allow into my life: I must be able to respect them and trust them in all circumstances. This is why I have had a very small number of true friends in my life.

Trust and respect must be earned. Donald Trump has never accomplished one thing for another person. He is the last person I could ever trust, and the least deserving of my respect. Trump is evil personified: he is the Antichrist.
