William,

It is all in perspective and relative. We have the largest economy and strongest military of any country in history. We also have significant shortcomings that must be overcome.

Income inequity is the primary cause of the middle class unrest and mistrust of the establishment that has led to Donald Trump.

America still has the greatest potential of any country in history, but will require significant effort by us all to realize that potential.

Rick, the largest economy and strongest military does not make the greatest nation. The same could be said of Germany in 1939,

As regards overcoming our shortcomings, I keep hearing "must" and "need" as if they were solutions. There a lot of things people and this nation must do, there is a lot of things we need,

The problem is, Rick, that on the present course of the ship of state, USA Inc, the musts won't happen and the needs will be unfulfilled, unless something drastic happens to rid us of this tyranny.

Whatever potential we had is moot, water under the bridge, over the dam, it flowed into the ocean on January 20th, do you expect Muskiantrump to fulfill that potential?
