YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this segment, James explores the relationship between Donald Trump and American ideals.
Based on my observations, in many ways America, like Trump it just a marketing facade, a tale of two cities, both are brands that exploit our emotions without delivering any real or meaningful value.
Trump—is he really making America great again? Did he actually drain the swamp in DC? How skilled is he actually at making deals. Does he really have a billion dollars?
America--we are the land of the free? But how free are we if we have millions of uninsured citizens with no healthcare, living in poverty.
Trump got elected because he is just a manifestation of a lot of American ideals. In 2016 he was literally promising us everything. More freedom, the best deals, the best healthcare, the best jobs…Who wouldn’t vote for that. In a lot of ways, he embodies the brand we know as America. A brand that is truly aspirational, but one that often overpromises, and under delivers.
