Good post.
I want to win in your contest

Gripe suspects the direction of US policy, not only in the financial business sector. The influence of foreign policy and US economic policy towards Indonesia is also heavily discussed.

Mantap that

I do not pay much attention to the news, but we have a large, visible, and growing homeless population in San Diego, so help is not reaching the little people.

I don't really think there is anything wrong with the direction America is headed.

No, we keep moving away from freedom and towards authoritarianism and the split between left and right keeps growing.

Here is my entry, so much entries lol :D

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.

I don't really know except that people seem to be far right/left with few in the middle and little discussion between them.

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.

Good or bad? Time will tell.

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.

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.

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.

glory an... win ;d

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.

The Libertarian Party tried to break the duopoly, getting on every state's ballot. It failed to get the 5% needed to obtain federal funding in the next election. The LP, for a change, had an electable slate with two former state governors.

I believe that the U.S. needs to get money out of politics and get our elected officials focusing on the constitution! Return the Government to the people!!!

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.

Difficult topic, there are pluses and minuses for sure.

America is going in a neutral way in my opinion, not right, not wrong.

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.

I slightly feel America is headed in the wrong direction, because the national economy is not as strong as it use to be plus the U.S influence around the world is gradually declining. They've had a couple of rough times lately but its not something they can't bounce out from, they actually got the potentials to retrace their steps.

...on track for self destruction...

I think everything is better than my country venezuela ...! my heart until you see me ..

I think that in spite of the criticism the economic policies of the US will lead them to get up even more and finish establishing themselves as the superpower of the world.

I'm in Thailand and left the states in part, because I did not like the direction it was going in many ways. I have no idea if it is getting better or worse, but I am glad to be somewhere else now.

I need to read more about America to answer this question because I don't live in America or know much about its system.

No comment hahahaha

For now it offers one of the best economies which translates into quality of life, without going into so much depth because of that simple fact it must preserve its interests and I believe that every decision and action is with that intention.

No. :)

And it's nothing to do with Trump or any other president - the US has been on a downhill path for decades.

I don't know much about much about USA politics as I'm mostly focused on the problems that are going on here in Venezuela because of the dictatorship. But I've hear Trump wants to legalize the traffic of elephant parts, and that he doesn't believe in the climate change, so if you ask me I would never vote for someone who thinks like that.

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”.

American has a problem with it's media. News organizations and our government seem to always have a hidden agenda. When it comes to trust, they have entirely diminished themselves in the eyes of a lot of their citizens. There are many examples in our history when our government has flat out lied. The United States is a strong country and the people aren't entirely stupid. We shall see what happens in all this madness.

United States has many advantages and disadvantages, I hope it goes in the right direction that will tell the future.

Absolutely, with Tramp it's will be a great America, again!

Thanks @bunnypuncher you are really great

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.

I think it's going in the right direction. With an acceptable market strategy and good management. Poor egocentric decisions often bring advantages and disadvantages.

Hello Bunnypuncher.
United States is one of the largest power in the world with a stable economy, it is a country always in development.

Hard to say, it is ok to make corrections once a while but these resent actions seem a bit drastic.

I don't know if it's the right direction

In very little ways we are moving I the right direction. But at the same time we keep pulling back taking away freedom.

Congratulations to the winners. I think this is a topic that is hard to answer

No comment

I don't care anymore to be honest

I think not, this time the United States is too pressing against the outside countries that are considered to interfere with the United States, whereas every country has its own leader, the American ruler is currently too selfish?

No. Too much selfish politics, democracy is dead and has turned to authoritarian government.

when am I lucky?

upvote

I wouldn't know, but I doubt it could be worse than Nigeria.

Still, It could always be better

I am not American, so my word is probably not worthy enough. But I hope the future of America will be bright!

Can't comment on that since im form Philippines... :3

I suppose it depends on how one looks at things. The culture is shifting in a way that it hasn't in quite some time and that is making some peoplw angry but there are also new opportunities for those who are willing to adapt to the change. If you are such a person, then yes it is on the right track.

No comment from me at this point. I heard once ago a „rule“ from a smart person - don’t talk about politics , religion or money. 🤫

i am confused about their work. Hard for me to understand what is the purpose of their activities! politics can not be understandable for general people like us :D

It seems a bit confusing because America is a world paradise that is progressing

It's a bit of an exaggeration if you say something right, because such a country is incapable of imagining for the future

Talking about the direction that has been achieved by a country like America is very confusing

It's true of your topic because many people who want to go there for a vacation, especially on the beach that is there

I do not know if amerika is classified into the right country

@Bunnypuncher you are great, please put me in winners list. Thanks

The submit between the US and North Korean government is the beat move that the president has achieve so far

Dont know much about america. But every rise has a fall untill he is in right direction.

Not American so my answer probably wouldnt be objective enough but I think that just like any other country, you guys have some things to sort out :)

Congrats to the winners.
I've got no much on this but America should be heading in the right direction.

I think so but it would be better to be involved in fewer wars

America is america, can make best strategy ever.

To be honest, I am not sure whether America is moving in the right direction. Mostly because Trump, but also the fact that America is becoming this very... hostile country, so-to-say. I think Obama did a much better job at inviting people to America and making it sort of a "free country", but now it just seems like the country is becoming hostile.

I'm not American. I wouldn't want to drop my opinion on this. I congratulate the winners

yes!

yes!

This is the world for humans, not countries. Should everything for the favour of humans not for counties.

It seems to me that if he is on the right track, regarding the security of his nation, and with respect to the economy, I have not seen the amazing economic development that he thought he would have with Trump.

If it goes in a good direction in terms of security, migration and in terms of its economy, a slow progress is noted, but good decisions have been made by Trump.

For a country like America I think that's a possible thing because such a big country can happen anything

Many countries are making progress as well as American countries with sophisticated technology

Economically they are still okay compare with other countries

E.E.U.U has made very harsh decisions regarding immigrants, and very mild pressures against corrupt Venezuelans, I would like to be more strict against Venezuelan officials but in summary if it goes in a good direction.

Looking for a fact about America is very good, the topic you give today is a bit confusing

or yes, the United States is on a very good road, soon it will be a great nation as before! Leader in all industries is just a matter of a little more time.

No idea. I also cannot answer the question for my own country

It is difficult to know if it is going very well because the economy is somewhat difficult to predict, with the restrictions in terms of cryptocurrencies I think it is a bad decision, I think they are late in terms of the topic of the blockchain

I think it is not going well North America has lost much influence worldwide, and in terms of its economy has been displaced a little by China can be seen in terms of global market dominance.

Congrats to winners. Whole world is in wrong direction

In comparison with other powers if it goes in the right direction! the dollar is strengthened in terms of the yuan and the ruble, and in terms of security if migratory actions are taken that will soon be effective!
@infinitywhale greets you!

Who knows. Is it?

Of course not, it is the worst road they can take in the United States, these measures are creating a great regression in finance and immigration measures are very cruel, it is definitely a very bad path for North America!

It is very clear that this is the wrong way, these economic-financial measures do not benefit the socio-productive sector, each time the influence is less on a global level and their markets are overshadowed by the Chinese. It is the sad reality that the great nation they promised is difficult to achieve with these measures of reduction

Well actually I do not know why I do not live in that country, but in comparison with mine it's a good way! In addition Mr. Trump is a great solon businessman, it is a question that his measures begin to bear fruit do not believe?

i'm leaving a com guys !

Leave a com

If a multimillionaire man can not make a country a great nation, who would? I think his measures are orthodox but accurate!

That only the Americans know because they are the ones who live every day, the economy of the country, their measures affect them or favor them mainly, if it is an opinion, I would say it is good management.

I hope that I would like to see the USA be a great nation and leader of the world economy, since it is my dream to live there.

I think it is! Trump is very polemic but is doing a great job, apart from international misunderstandings.

Yes!

Whatever the state does, the most important thing is to have a positive impact on the people

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.

No, because America is not being united. Its more like, full of discrimination and prejudice towards other people, like black guys or Asians. Hate rules and then there's trump, I don't need to say anymore.

The election of Donald Trump as president of the United States raises questions about security in Asia.
