Would you rather China take up that mantle? There will always be too much going on here. There's always too much going on in any country, especially one which is a world leader. If we don't lead, then there will be much more going on here and everywhere else. Haven't the last four years clearly demonstrated that?

You're not wrong. I'm just so [BLEEP] tired of this country being jerked around by politicians on both sides and the divisive snake pit the media has become that stokes the fires that makes everyone go nuts. This country needs actual leadership regardless of who is in office at every level of government and the last four years definitely showed a lack of that. 

Trump has his faults, some very frustrating, but he's not someone to be taken lightly. That can be both encouraging and terrifying.
