    I get the point he is trying to make. But for the people he is trying to criticize - yes, it was good for them. Not good for a minority

    Also, it tends to overlook what the MAGA people are trying to say. They want to go to back to being a respected world leader and not a disrespected one.

    Granted we have earned it with our succession of poor leadership in Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump.

      Clinton was the last president that actually practiced fiscal responsibility with a budget surplus. Granted, his scandal was appalling for its time, but it was a personal affair afaic, he probably doesn’t need to be lumped in with the others.

        He was more than his affair. His trade and business policies set the precedent for decades of bad faith decisions by American leadership.
