The US has the strongest military in the world without any serious competition. The economy is the first or second largest overall (depending on how you want to measure it), but the per capita GDP isn't even close to the highest (there are a few extremely wealthy small countries making it basically impossible to ever overcome them). After that all the stats start to become embarrassing, like highest prison population.

I think so, America just needs to get rid of Trump, get rid of the race issues, get on board with fighting climate change, get rid of the gun violence, stop bombing countries in the middle east, stop being fat and unhealthy, stop throwing everyone in jail and stop being really loud and obnoxious when visiting other countries.

sadly, no.

we are stuck in a cycle where a Democrat fixes the economy and deficit only for a Republican to fuck things up after, setting the stage for another Democrat to fix things up.

the cycle just got worse now thanks to trump, and the world doesnt want to rely on a country that will get out of trade deals, international treaties and defense obligations with other countries because they were entered into by a government from a different party. Treaties, deals and defense obligations are supposed to be a stable, long term thing, not a 8 year thing at most.

while we are too busy fighting over even basic stuff such as black peoples right to live (tell black lives matter to a trump supporter and see the scene they will cause), kids right to go to school without getting shot or whether science is a real thing China is reviving its Silk Road, Russia is de-stabilizing governments worldwide and countries are lobbying to stop using dollars as the world currency.

once the dollar as world currency goes so will we.

thanks trump

Sadly this is true. The mask situation and racism this year peaked things.

Also China iirc has many US bonds or whatever. So yeah China #1. USA only #1 now in military still and sports. But China and Russia combined aren't worried about military.
