If you knew a single thing about me, then you knew I knew.
But we don't "fix the country" by relying on a narcissist who doesn't even know what the country is about because he, according to his own words, "doesn't read."
I agree that time is running out........ or perhaps am more pessimistic in believing it has already run out. But we took the test in 2016 and failed because we turned to a liberal populist to solve the problems we only had because we abandoned Conservatism.
I believe the only way this country can be saved is through another Great Awakening and a recognition that the nation's survival is dependent on a return to First Principles.
It is certainly not being saved by a guy who knows nothing about anything and only loves himself.

Thoughtful.
Reading induces reflection which can either alter or reinforce behavior.
Yet to change, one must have the humility to recognize one's mistakes.
Anne MacLeod, his Scottish mother, labeled him incorrigible; incapable
of changing behavior, some 60 years ago and nothing is different since.
Instead Trump preens w/conceit and hubris, surrounding himself
w/fawners and lackeys who kow-tow as he struts by, applauding himself.
Consequently, his unforced errors are repeated endlessly; no surprise.
Great Nation/States, such as Rome, endured for 12 centuries, the
British Empire for 400 years; while we are a tad past 2 centuries.
Much more ominously, our Founders, among them; Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, Rutledge, Hancock and the rest, are gone!
In our material world nothing endures for eternity. NOTHING!!!
The best any culture/society can expect or hope for is longevity;
if it behaves w/ the attitudes, behaviors and values that gave it existence.
Lightweights believe repeating their mantra,"We are the greatest";
is all that is necessary to sustain us.
History will have the last word and will be neither so kind nor so naive'.
