and all this because of the new greatest threat to America: China
Actually, the greatest threat to America is Trump.
Absolutely true as all of his "finest" people have said once they saw the light or were fired for telling the truth.
For Americans like you I am sure that is the case.
Share this with yourself and the inimitable Conway Clan

Mr. Farrell, you make excellent points but the truth is you only scratch the surface. The total corruption, treasonous acts and spreading hatred and divisiveness by this administration can still be stopped. True Americans can cut out the cancer that is Donald Trump and the infected tissues surrounding him, his family and his enablers lead by Moscow Mitch McConnell, on November 3rd. Although we don't know the full extent of their control, we do know that Russia and China have Trump by the short hairs and he will use any crooked means he can to stay in power because it is the only leverage he has to keep them from taking him down. As long as he keeps giving them classified information they will not yank his short hairs.
It will take years to restore America to a respected world leader rather than the laughing stock that can't be trusted by its allies but we will start November 3rd. You eat the elephant one bite at a time.
