Come. All of you countries without enormous military spending. Even though you too are within range of those missiles we fear so much. Why don't you fear them as much? Could it be you are not bullies antagonizing the rest of the world.
Come and see. We have Billionaires here who never seem to have enough telling the rest of us we make to much. Billionaires buying politicians, and our media, spreading lies and disinformation about everything we love and need. Come and see, A few people who never seem to have enough money taking pleasure in hurting our people any way they can. Redefining even religion and everything it has taught us for thousands of years now claiming greed and enormous riches are now good and Gods will.
Come to America and visit the remnants of a once great country turned into an awful nightmare by a few people who have it all and it still isn't enough. Come visit us and see how the poor live. Most of you other countries of the world are the greatest, not us, we are defeated by our own.

Explain that?

Come sleep in a trailer house in rural Appalachia with no heat or plumbing. After visiting a real coal working mine, enjoy a local feast where the natives will treat you to stewed squirrel and a choir will sing gospel songs to you.
Visit skidrow in Los Angeles where you will overnight in a genuine downtown slum hotel. Meet some of the eccentric homeless inhabitants, from the untreated mentally ill and substance abusers, to actual sex workers.
