This was interesting:

"Conversely, the most notable declines occurred in Indonesia, which fell from 48th place to 68th, and the United States, whose score dropped into the “authoritarian regime” category with President Trump showing a weak commitment to the separation of powers, stifling the media and encouraging or tolerating violence."
















(JK)

Source a little biased maybe. Stifling the media? Yep, Trump has really silenced his critics. And, separation of powers -- exactly how has he run roughshod over any branch of government [actions, not simply a comment]? And, oh yes, all you Trump hating lefties here are reluctant to post your views for fear that Trump will come after you. This place has become a beacon for TDS. Yep, democracy is dead in America.

Rest assured that things will only get better when Pelosi and Schumer are in power. We need more left wing anti-growth policies. That will really get the economy moving again...

oh dear... you need to learn what "JK" means

I don't use pink. Normally my sarcasm is so obvious it's redundant, or I add a wink or a JK.

By the way, per the source's possible bias:
