Trump took his ego to new levels as he proclaimed that America is living in the Age Of Trump.

Trump’s tweet is more evidence of how unchained and unrestrained his ego has become.
The Age Of Trump features governmental corruption at levels that haven’t been seen since the 19th Century. An economy that is spiraling toward a recession. A farm sector that is in such dire conditions that farmers are on the brink of or are going out of business. A manufacturing sector that just posted Great Recession levels numbers. Economic inequality that has reached historic levels, and a president that is trying to deport kids with cancer.
The Age Of Trump is an era that will be remembered by historians as a time of attacks on freedom and weakening of democracy in the United States.
Trump is a president who the nation will seek to immediately forget. If he loses in 2020, he leaves behind no lasting policy legacy.
The Age Of Trump will likely be short-lived and as inconsequential to history as Donald Trump’s tweets.
