Trump Refers to the US as a Third-World Country - Unclear if That's a Campaign Promise or Threat

Trump is the first president to use the words bleed, carnage, stolen, tombstones, and trapped in an inaugural address, a man who tried to overthrow democracy to stay in office after losing outside of the former confederacy by more than 10 million votes. This week he referred to the US as a third world country and made it clear that he doesn't want any Republicans in the party who had supported apostates like Romney or Liz Cheney, people who failed to treat him with all the reverence accorded to Jim Jones. (Trump famously does not drink alcohol. He prefers to serve Kool-Aid.)

Republicans get all excited by that sort of talk - still recovering as they are from the trauma of the "great doubling of egg prices in 2023."
