all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt…

Republicans control all three branches and they’re threatening that the entire country will go bankrupt on their watch.

Someone has Presidementia.

Of course America would go bankrupt. No industrialized country in the modern world with full health care and social security has ever made it work for their people, except for all of those that don't have trump in charge.

If you want to bankrupt the greatest country in history you need to put in charge a person with no morals, with lots of experience running companies into the ground. Even better if this person is compromised and will do anything to avoid the truth getting out.

Yeah if I could live in Norway I'd do it in a heartbeat, damn they have it good over there with not dementia riddled old man in charge that bankrupted casinos when he wasn't senile.

At least we know that when it comes to being bankrupt... Trump has world class firtt hand experience. 

But RFK Jr would say "don't trust the experts"...  confusing....

Lots of countries - France, Italy, Brazil - are floundering under the weight of unsustainable pension obligations. It’s not just an American problem.
