Soon, all visitors can be assured of not feeling the least bit of envy when visiting the US. Many will feel superior to the enslaved Americans. There is a fourth reason.
All hail our dear leader, the wisest of the wise.
Awwwwwww, isn’t that great? We’re “popular” again! And all it cost us was a few trillion dollars and our dignity.
"We would like to visit!"
We have a winner.
