    I never claimed he was good at it. Just that speaking for America is the presidents job.

    Yes, a job that he is doing poorly at, but it’s what you lot elected him (twice) to do.

      Again, no. No it is not. He was not elected by the people. Do you not know how elections function in the US? You reek of prideful ignorance. Meaning, you sound American.

        sigh

        He was elected by the system that the USA uses to choose their leaders.

        Regardless of how flawed that system is, he was chosen by the system of that country to be it’s leader.

        you sound American.

        So now you’re just insulting me.

          Yea, the system elected him. Not all Americans.

          Interesting how you cannot separate the two. Are you the kind of person to blame every single Russian for Putin? Every Chinese person for Xi? Everyone in the Philipines responsible for Duterte?

          The list goes on… You blindly blaming the people for a problem that CLEARLY exists with systems and power structures is providing cover for how such people corrupt and take control. Your ignorance damages the world and helps only those in power retain control by dividing their opposition.

          You have a shameful understanding of the world.

            The only ones who can fix this problem is Americans working together, rather than being a bunch of independent “rugged individualists” or whatever their self-image normally is.

            Insisting that you are helpless victims of your own country doesn’t do anything to improve the situation.

              Nowhere did I say Americans are helpless victims. I said Trump doesn’t speak for everyone. Crazy how you keep trying to blame people.
