I'm still trying to wrap my head around this press conference, it was like watching two people from different worlds try to have a conversation 
. Trump came across as completely out of touch with the reality of his administration's policies and their impact on people's lives. I mean, his response to being called "divisive" was laughable - deflecting criticism onto unnamed critics? That's not leadership, that's just dodging accountability 
.
And can we talk about how dismissive he was towards Samir Amin's arguments on refugees and colonialism? It's like he genuinely believes that people who are trying to escape war or persecution are somehow a "threat" to American society
. And the way he framed it, as if acknowledging past injustices would undermine national pride, is just ridiculous. I think we can all agree that acknowledging our flaws and working to make things better is what being proud of one's country is really about 
.
The fact that Trump refused to provide clear details on how his 'America First' approach would be implemented just adds to the sense of unease
. It's like he's more concerned with winning an argument than actually listening to people and trying to find common ground. And the tone of this press conference was really heavy-handed - it felt like we were witnessing a masterclass in how not to have a respectful conversation

it's all about creating a narrative that benefits him and his party, not about having an honest conversation about our problems and how to solve them. and samir amin is just doing his job as a historian, trying to bring some clarity to the lies we've been fed for years... 
what i do know is that if we want to move forward as a society, we need to stop being so divided and start listening to each other's perspectives 
I mean, who wants to watch two old dudes go at each other on live TV? It felt like they were trying to out-argue each other instead of having a real conversation. And Trump's response about refugees being a "threat" to society? Like, what even is that? 
And what's up with him refusing to acknowledge the impact of colonialism? That's some heavy historical baggage right there.
We need leaders who are willing to listen and learn from others, not just shout back at everyone else.
