Are we moving forward or going backwards? What do you think diplomats in other countries (especially our allies) think of this mentality?

He's all about moving backward. He set race relations back half a century or more his first term. He loves the poorly educated because they're dumb enough to vote for him so he's trying to set back education. He's setting women's rights back as far as he can. He's probably only a few McDoubles away from croaking and then the world will be a better place.

We are 100% moving backwards as a country. I think this post of his is just proof we have a lot of racist and sexist people being appointed to positions of power in this country and making lives harder on those who aren't white rich males as if they needed more help.

I strongly disagree. That statement is racist and misogynist.
I think competent "people" must be in charge if you want things to work, regardless of race or gender. I would only exclude mentally ill transgenders.

George Wallace, Ross Barnett, Lester Maddox and the other segregationist Governors of my 60's boyhood have found a kindred spirit !!!

No question!

Completely False.

Competence is true, but implying only pale skinned cis men are the ones who are competend is utter nonsense and BS.

Let me know what demographics caused the great depression and the last two recessions. Older, competent white men that messed up

I doubt he's bothered about the competent bit.
