Everything Trump touches....

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

At one point in history it was largely understood that employee diversity was not only good for an employee's workplace, but it was also just good for business.

At one point in history it was largely understood that the more integrated economies were internationally, the greater the potential for sustaining peace.

Their biggest complaint is that they didn't have a chance to project their wrongdoings onto others before they were called out for it.

Is he really going to this daily thing in the oval office? He looked like he was barely holding up in the chair today, slouching over his desk, yammering about this and that incoherently.
