I have little knowledge about US but I think USA is not doing too much right nowadays as it must be doing being the big brother.
There are some reasons like getting out of PARIS AGREEMENT, ISOLATIONIST ATTITUDE, VISA ISSUES, WALL MAKING S0ACULATIONS, BREAKING IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL AND MANY MORE. If US will think and negotiate with other countries She will always be on win win side. A leader is always leader till he behaves like leader but when we start acting like kids sometimes people don't us seriously.
In case any body feels my attitude negative he may put his point of view but always in decency.

All I can say is that the US is doing something different. Whether or not you agree with the Trump administration, it is evident that they are not following the traditional approaches utilized in the last several decades.

Yes, an interesting topic and I was curious to see if people would keep it civil. To my surprise and at least so far, yes they have!
I cannot say to my friends that I think America is doing great and going in the right direction. And that is where I think things are wrong. Before this last election my friends and I could talk for hours and politics never came up. Now it is the first thing they want to know - how do you feel about this or that political subject. And if you don't agree with them you will be cast into the outer darkness. Feels good to say it here.

The country and its people, it will be resilient and bear the worst and come out stronger. However, in the meantime, the so-called leadership is at its worst. The world sees them for what they are now. History will judge them for who they are and see them as a lesson - a lesson not to repeat.

I will say in technological advancement, politically it is at a good state right now but i must say some of its policies are not the best at the moment especially it's immigration policies that have earned international criticism from other countries. I also wished i could comment positively about the moral values in America but that is impossible. America's moral values keep sinking down to it's worst state as days go by.

Yes we are. America is heading in the right direction. People are trying to make it seem like we aren't. Our country is trying it's hardest to make all Americans safe. If that means building the wall, shutting down borders to stop terrorists from coming through, and much more. Our direction is leading us to more safety, unlike our old president, who was never there to protect

A tax cut during an economic boom is insane. Booms are the time to cut deficits, whether by increasing taxes or reducing spending. During the next recession, the US will have reduced power to run economically stimulating budget deficits.

These tariffs are putting us on thin ice with our allies Is America headed in the right direction? I’d say no. In this day in age the US is treating our allies worse than we have in many years. Recent tariffs on steel and aluminum have been passed by president Donald Trump which have very clear disadvantages to countries such as Canada and other countries in the EU. Canada has put up with a lot of nonsense from president Trump and Justin Trudeau has responded very well but this debacle has his patience wearing thin. Trudeau says that Americans and Canadians have “fought and died together” and that these Tariffs are “totally unacceptable”.

This is a very sensitive issue because there will always be disagreement with respect to certain points such as the economy or social security, but I believe that the issue of factual weapons powers and the inherent war culture camouflaged under a false cloak should be treated very seriously. of patriotism, since finally the nation is directly or indirectly promoting a violent and intolerant practice focused through its inhabitants, the latest attacks being a convincing proof of the collateral effect that has left so much hatred.

America is seeing the last stand of white supremacism. Its foreign policy was summed up by a White House aide, "We're America, Bitch!" The Republican Party has turned nativist-populist. The Democrats are moving to the left. A new party could occupy the center if it weren't for the political duopoly. Fortunately, while Trump & Co. are making things worse, America's institutions, while weakened, are holding. Trump had a dry run for a coup which only revealed that a coup is impossible. The midterm elections will likely create a Democratic Congress, putting a check on his power. America will recover, if weakened. Whether Americans use the opportunity to actually talk to instead of past each other is a big, currently unanswerable question.

I am not the most political guy, but as far as I can tell, Trump hasn't caused as much damage as everyone anticipated. Aside from the memes, I haven't seen much going on about the meeting between him and Kim, but I consider that no nukes have been thrown after it a win for america and the world.
That being said, I wish for americans to learn more about their own election system.
While Trump was the lesser evil compared to Hilary, 2018 was the perfect opportunity for third parties, but nobody even knew they existed or considered voting for them to be a waste.
In Summary: Feels like stagnation to me.

America is going in the right direction in my humble opinion. People are waking up to the lies and propaganda after years. This is great because it allows people to shed sterotypes of race and gender. Now we can show love and forgiveness while helping one another.

I’m not really a political enthusiast type of person but I do believe America is headed on the right path to rebuild back what is America all about. It takes time to undone what the previous admin. undid to our great country. He didn’t do anything foolish at all, he has nerves to do it because it’s the only way to gain back the full trust to the government of what was missing long gone before ,as a citizen of the USA , for me ,at the moment he is the best shot for America .Thank you Trump Administration for making America Great again. Slow pace but we are getting there in the coming future.Thank you for taking time to read my opinion. God Bless America.

One of the major issues of developed economies is the wealth gap. A healthy economy requires a certain amount of capital formation to be able to provide new investments, on the other hand a certain amount should be distributed to create demand for the supply that comes from those investments. Wealth gap comes from too much capital formation which disturbs the supply/demand balance. Right now it is the main focus of US economy-politics to diminish the wealth gap. Different approaches were tried such as providing more public services (like with ObamaCare) or encouraging the economy to create more job opportunities (like with Corporate Tax Cuts) or preventing immigration; however none of them were successful so far. The cause of failure is being too late as usual in politics. There are a number of ways this might go from here but the biggest worry is that as the situation gets more desperate, more invasive policies might be pursued.
