America has lost respect around the world. [View all]

Respect is not automatic. Once it is gone, you may never get it back.

Trump, with his MAGA supporters, have destroyed whatever respect we had in the world. People stop coming to our country. Not only do they not respect our leaders, they no longer respect us as a people.

What we have lost is immeasurable. It is worth more than all the gold that can be stored at Mar-a-Lago. It is worth more than all the political power one can accumulate.

It is shameful what has been done to this great country.

It is going to take a very long time to repair the damage, if it is possible at all.

We have not yet seen the price that we will have to pay.
