Then: "It's the economy, stupid." Now: "It's America v Trump, stupid."

America is worse off than ever. Trump is beyond failure.

Trump's endless failures:

-- economics -- a govt shutdown, bad trade deals, tariffs, layoffs, giving tax money to the rich, student debt --
-- leadership of ALL Americans -- attacking elected officials, 598 tweets attacking American persons, institutions, minorities and women,
-- foreign relations -- trafficking with dictators, nullifying NATO, attacking our allies, leaving the Paris Climate Accords,
-- sexism,
-- racism,
-- government functionality -- gutting the cabinet, turning the DOJ into his personal law firm, failing to help Americans in at least four disasters, firing govt persons by tweet -- of the 3rd largest country on the planet,
-- religion,
-- white supremacist hate group support,
-- losing, caging, hiding, trafficking immigrant children,
-- separating immigrant families,
-- labeling dissent "domestic terrorism,"
-- attacking journalism as the "enemy of the people,"
-- obstructing justice,
-- adhering to our most hostile enemy's word over his own intelligence agencies,
-- militarizing the 4th of July,
-- selling public park lands for mining, fracking,
-- using military force against native American tribes,
-- driving out hundreds from his administration,
-- scofflaw refusal of oversight by the First Branch,
-- enriching himself through his properties
-- being the target of three criminal investigations
-- lying or misleading Americans 10,796 times.
-- doing nothing to improve election integrity
-- using Sputnik as his new media source.

Back in the day, the Democratic message was "It's the economy, stupid.



Today, the Democratic message is "It's America vs Trump, stupid."
