I think you'll find it was the global economic collapse that did a number on the U.S. economy. Just a thought...
Quite what Obama's father's nationality has to do with the price of fish I don't know: it means he is of Kenyan ancestry, but he does not hold (& is not entitled to) British citizenship, nor does he hold Kenyan citizenship (they don't allow dual nationality).
It doesn't matter to whom Trump was speaking in that revolting conversation other than that it wasn't President Bush (either of them). It also doesn't matter that other people have said worse things. It was vile, mysoginistic & unstatesmanlike. Oh & essentially a confession of sexual assault. Small detail that. (Please don't start dragging President Clinton into this. I am fully aware of the allegations against him thank you - the salient point here, as raised by you, is the public conduct.)
You are aware that many of us have the capacity to apply critical thinking to Trump's actions as announced by him? And his antics on Twitter are... revealing? Dreadfully embarrassing for America, too.
However, I would adore to know how the liberal press (you do know in the 1930s it was the Jewish Press who were the Evil Liars, right? Just for a touch of perspective...) are creating such comprehensive Fake News.
You see, the utter shite being peddled during the election campaign could actually be unpicked or was blatantly fabulist - people just didn't want to hear it. But somehow, clearly evidence-based, reasoned & corroborated reporting, is Fake News. The mind boggles. Clearly all media has some bias, but the mainstream news are not prone to making random shite up, because they get caught out. And then people don't believe them ever again.
