when donald trump goes to europe, he sees plain and modest buildings built for utility, while wealth is distributed more fairly to people. when donald trump goes to the middle east, he sees immense disparities in wealth, and ostentatious towers built of gold. therefore, the middle east is a rising society because it builds towers of gold on the backs of it's people, and europe is on the brink of collapse because it does not have these displays of wealth, and instead has better wealth redistribution.

the role that the united states has played in building and maintaining this order appears to be lost on him, as are the lessons of the revolutions of the past. more gold towers equals more success, and a higher likelihood of success in the future.

as a leftist, i'll happily take the mistake and call on the forces of democracy and liberation to take advantage of it.
