It’s not looking very good for the French either.
The French, Coming Apart

Its all Obama’s fault, 94 million out of the labor force, highest poverty rate in decades, most illegals in country, H1b visas while millions of IT grads don’t get jobs so multinationals fake that qualified Americans don’t exist.
Truth is Americans must train their replacements when they are laid off so companies can trim their salary checks.
Trump is changing this, but congress is still in the bag for the Chamber of Commerce, and the wall is the only way to stop drugs and cheap illegal labor coming here.
Europe suffers its colonies. The U.S. was a contemptuous colony itself. Breaking off from the crown should have been done a bit differently. At least in the aftermath of independence. Washington and Jefferson were appalled, haunted even, by the realization of what was taking place during the French Revolution. Throwing off centuries of monarchy wasn’t an easy transition. WWI is certainly a testament to that.
