Forgotten America Just Played it’s Trump Card!
For the world to move on, if there is one lesson to be learnt, it is that if you leave swathes of your nation uneducated, lost and forgotten, they will lash out and turn opinion polls on their head, lurching not to the left of the political spectrum but the far-right, where there is a host of simplistic answers to tough questions.
