The Chinese are now debunking Trump conspiracies. The man has not even taken the oath of office, and he is already humiliating the United States of America around the world. It is more likely that Trump turns America into a laughing stock before he ever adds to the nation’s greatness.

America is a great nation that can overcome anything. One suspects that the Trump administration may go down in history as being one of the most immense tests of all time of our system of government and resiliency as a people.
