Describe CARNAGE for us as it relates to our country.
Here's a mouthful about China, and how big they will get.
Quote:
China's economy will be bigger NOT because of some magic number, but because of 1.3 billion people multiplied by a really, REALLY low GDP per capita. And that's the thing, how wealthy will the Chinese people get?
China is also creating CARNAGE for their country while growing their economy. One-third of their water is polluted, and the smog in Beijing is killing their people. They're paying a very high price for their economic growth.
It is laid out in Trump's inaugural speech (and only small bits of it were cribbed from Blade Runner and The Man in the High Castle). It's 99% Trump-vision.

ps... told ya he'd speak about his "historic movement" today.
Easy now chicken little, it's going to be just fine. The only carnage going on in the US right now is the leftwing protesters running through the streets and trying to start riots. At least the rightwing was much much better behaved when Obama was elected.
Don't they all? The first citizen, non-politician, to win the office since the Founding Fathers. So it is a little historic, maybe not from a identity voters type person such as yourself, but historic.

@Baldimo,
What was even funnier was how Washington DC looked rather empty at Trump's inaugural compared to 2008.
Also, according to Gallup, Trump has one of the lowest rating for an incoming president.
Inauguration protesters vandalize, set fires, try to disrupt Trump’s oath, as police arrest nearly 100
...groups tried to disrupt the day’s events by burning flags, throwing bricks and rioting en masse, leading to injuries and nearly 100 arrests by early afternoon...The protesters were throwing rocks, bricks and chunks of concrete and taking newspaper boxes and barriers and putting them on the streets.
Three officers were injured during an earlier protest along the K Street corridor, including an officer who was struck by an object that had been thrown, said Doug Buchanan, a spokesman for the D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services. Another officer was struck by a thrown object on K Street in the late afternoon and was taken to a hospital.
During the morning protest, a large group of black-clad protesters — self-described as anti-capitalist and antifascist — made their way south on 13th Street near K Street, throwing newspaper boxes and garbage cans into the street and trying to set them on fire, leaving them smoldering. They also threw fireworks and broke glass at bus stops, businesses and on the windows of a limousine.
I’ve been watching and listening to inaugural addresses since John F. Kennedy’s, in 1960. I’ve never heard anything like this one in terms of its divisive content and complete lack of uplift. Even its call for the blessings of the Almighty was to a nationalist God Trump seemed to be charging with protecting the country — if and only if our military and police forces failed. And absent any admission of his own fallibility, his appeal to unity sounded more like a threat of repression than a call for mutual understanding and bipartisanship.
He accused “Washington” of deliberately abandoning factories and their workers, deliberately robbing Americans of their income and wantonly spending it on foreign countries, and deliberately refusing to hear the cries of an aggrieved, impoverished, and powerless citizenry. And having painted this dark picture of a horrific status quo, he proceeded to set out literally impossible goals for his own presidency.
The “American carnage” of crime and gangs and drugs “stops right here and stops right now.” Really? And as for “radical Islamic terrorism”? He plainly promised that “we will eradicate [it] from the face of the Earth.” Seriously. And: “We will bring back our jobs … our borders … our wealth.” Gee, will the rest of the world cooperate to make that happen?
