 To build himself up, Trump constantly tears the country down. There is no shining city on the hill. It's just mourning in America, M-O-U-R-N-I-N-G. Throughout the debate, Trump repeatedly said that we are a failing country. He called the United States a third world nation. He said we're living in hell and very close to World War III. People are dying all over the place, Trump said, later adding, we're literally an uncivilized country now.
