    Yeah, and Statue of Liberty remained in ownership of the country, no one “moved it” to “personal library” for personal use, what Trump is planning to do with the jet. Are they really that stupid or think people are that stupid?

      At this point in the game … it’s the people who are stupid.

      I’m up in Canada and we’ve been watching this train wreck for years. At first you blame the man … but after a while you realize the problem is a lot deeper than that and you start to see just how stupid the overall country is.

        Yup, Im college and boarding school educated and the majority around me lack any real logical thinking skills. Americans have grown so accustomed to not having to think critically that many do not have those skills.

      Exactly! The French gave us (The American people) the statue of Liberty. They didn’t give it to one specific person, even if the then-current president was the one who accepted it.
