I’d almost agree with that statement. I’d say what the Western counties (not just the US) need is Donald’s policies and approach to places like China, attitudes towards NATO funding and calling out poor deals like the Iran Nuclear deal and the Paris climate agreement. If only the US could find someone with the same message but different style then I would be very happy.

I must admit at times during Trump's Presidency I thought this man is some kind of Loon. However having seen what they replaced him with means the true Loons are now in power. 

Bring back Trump yes please...

They're too busy playing with hypersonic missiles to get stoned, and building undersea mountain ranges for the goons to run into.
