I'm noticing a trend . . .

Trump's been in office for only five days and already he's making the world better!

I'm going to interpret that as optimism rather than sarcasm and attempt to emulate it with all my will.

No need to wait for the wall, Trump has real estate all over the world. This administration is vandals' time to shine.

Honestly, it was a bit of both.

Hopefully this is the type of adversity and hardship that fosters growth and maturity for everyone involved. This might be another step to understanding that sometimes in order to have meaningful change in the world, you first have meaningful change in your heart and mind and the discipline to actually put that change into meaningful actions.

Hold on a second. If China's leading the way instead, and the rest of the world is going ahead to pick up the slack.... then isn't this (America falling behind in modern investments/initiatives) exactly what Trump feared would happen and wanted to counter?

Even CHINA [reading Trumps voice] is taking massive strides to reduce their carbon footprint as an industrial powerhouse.
