We are living in a kakistocracy!
Kakistocracy is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people. The word was coined as early as the 17th century and derives from two Greek words, kákistos (‘worst') and krátos (‘rule'), together meaning 'government by the worst people'.

Trump is the first anti-science president. Slashing funding for the National Science Foundation, NASA science projects (disclaimer I work on the ISS program whose sole function is science), NIH, NOAA, EPA. This is not making America great, it is making America stupid. We are living in a idiocracy.

Trump appears to be Putins Puppet (again) and will be throwing Ukraine and our NATO allies under the bus. All the sacrifices that the US made in over 100 years for global stability will be wasted. Furthermore, Trump is a traitor to all the US and allied soldiers who fought since the First World War.
