As we continue to elect even bigger idiots (I know it's hard to imagine a bigger idiot than Trump... but we thought the same thing about GWB) we will continue to lose any respect from 1st world nations. We are already showing the world that our nation isn't the leader in a number of things any longer ... other than being the leader in "me first" they recognize it and have made statements regarding that.
You're confusing "respect" from 1st world nations with the reality: America has become submissive. We've become the Sugar Daddy to the world. We pay for that "respect" with dollars and in the meantime we ARE failing our own people because it's true we're not leading on many fronts where we should (and where we did).

He's accomplished none of those lies, all he does is tweet a claim to success, which then gets rolled back 2 weeks later. But no one has the attention span to notice. And psychology being what it is, pointing out that they made a bad decision only tends to entrench people further in their decision (just me pointing this out probably makes you want to fellate Trump even more than when you started reading it).
Kick out brownish people?
You mean people who committed a felony and broke our laws to gain entry to our country and access to our services?
Those people?
Victor, you seem like a worldly guy. Perhaps you've known people who travel overseas to other 1st world countries. Perhaps you've known some to live and work there.
I have.
And I know what happens when your visa lapses.
I know how they come to you and wait while you pack and bring you to the airport.
It's not a negotiation. It's not a racial discrimination. It's not skin color.
It's a simple matter of breaking the law.
Why is that so difficult to understand?
