    I hope all had a good 4th of July holiday.
    This surprised me when I heard Michael Berry read this during his Thursday broadcast. With the negativity pushed by the media and the polarization we could all use some positive energy. Keep America Great Again.

    *Look, America is like the best idea the world ever came up with,* the U2 frontman told CBS Thursday in an interview broadcast Tuesday. *But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America. Potentially.*

    The singer said he believes that the business mogul is making America "dangerous" again, the opposite of what Trump claims he can do with his slogan: 'Make America Great Again'.

    The politically-minded musician said that Trump as president could have devastating effects on the rest of the world, not just his home country.

    I didn't hear Donald Trump's name mentioned once in the above video. The Bono quote you mentioned is from Sept 2016.

    Bono is now a huge fan of Trump and MAGA :)

    I don't care what anyone from Ireland has to say about America. It simply doesn't matter. If he doesn't like America, he can go home. Problem solved. And, take Jane and her Peter with him.

    Bono in December of 2017. I've NEVER seen him support Trump at all.

    In the Australian interview, Bono also reaffirmed his belief that Vice President Mike Pence is more agreeable than President Trump.

    “Mike Pence is a person I believe we can work with,” Bono said. “I may not agree with him, but I believe him when he speaks. I have sympathy for idealists — what you and I might think of as *narrow-minded ideological fundamentalists like Pence. If you can widen the aperture of that idealism, they’re capable of being passionate about, say, the environment or poor people. And liberals have got to be careful of that awful dismissiveness of people who have thoroughly conservative views.”

    As far as Trump goes? “I can’t meet with him because he doesn’t tell the truth,” Bono says. “I have good friends in the Republican Party … it’s going to end in tears, and people will be embarrassed that the Oval Office was turned into the [WWE].”
