Unprincipled men their Bluster and Bombs have Nothing Constructive to offer 
One after another politician or a whole series of politicians are elected to office (or allowed remain in office far past their usefulness or competence). One after another holds forth with one after another scheme or harebrained idea, or under-the-table deal beneficial to their friends—without any care or concern for the real needs of the USA and its people of the substantive advancement of the homeland.
The word of America is worthless because the word of its leaders is worthless—lacking in credibility, integrity, honesty, respectfulness for self, the United States and other countries.
Neither world nations and peoples nor the US citizens can trust
the cabal entrenched in high office and slithering in out and around state capitals and the Washington Beltway. When government officials (officeholders, public officials) should been thinking and writing and negotiating and diligently working (off camera and off media platforms) with coworkers and leaders of US municipalities and leaders of other countries and governments—they were pandering to narrow interests and padding their pockets and campaign chests.
US leaders today copy the same pattern their ilk has used for generations in the Americas, in West and Southeast Asia, in Africa, South, Central and Eastern Europe …

These leaders have pushed one U.S. state against another, one American against another American, effectively destroying all sense of neighborliness, cooperativeness and societal productiveness.
I like these lines from an old B-movie. After those believing themselves to be the victors make a toast to one they believe to be the vanquished, the latter asks the villains: “May I, in the depth of my defeat, offer a toast” (before tossing the glass to the floor, he toasts) …
“To men who have lost all sense of honor
“To men who have disgraced the countries that gave them birth
To you, gentlemen”
The US leaders have betrayed not just treaties; but, even worse, they have broken promises and betrayed trusts; broken crucial, cultural bonds between and among nations and regions; and between states of the United States and people who inhabit those states and municipalities. They widened and deepened gulfs between mountain hollows and hills, coalfields, canneries, and rust belts.
They have reduced America’s young men (as well as America’s medical men) to pushing dangerous and addictive drugs and calling it an honorable work, a proper means of making a living—until US authorities’ roulette-wheel quota of blame stops on them. Drug pushers who have lost all luck can be seen in the circle of wildfires out west or chained in gangs down south “Making America Great again” and “Building America Back Better.”
