In The Old Days Of America When Communities Were Separated By Hundreds Of Miles, Why Were They Able To Thrive?

[donald Trump] Is Talked About Enormous Loss That We've Had In This Country By Allowing Radical Islamic Extremists To Run Rampant Without Having A Coherent Plan For How To Destroy Them, Not Just To Contain Them, But To Destroy Them.

Let's Say Somebody Were [in The White House] And They Wanted To Destroy This Nation. I Would Create Division Among The People, Encourage A Culture Of Ridicule For Basic Morality And The Principles That Made And Sustained The Country, Undermine The Financial Stability Of The Nation, And Weaken And Destroy The Military.

You Have The Ability To Choose Which Way You Want To Go. You Have To Believe Great Things Are Going To Happen In Your Life. Do Everything You Can - Prepare, Pray And Achieve - To Make It Happen.
