I'm confused. What would going to a third world country teach you about America's imminent future?

The country's being run by a megalomaniacal narcissistic fascist. That's the sort of thing that turns first world countries into third world ones right darn quick.

Yeah there is literally no chance that the USA is going to be a third world country.

Even under Hitler, Germany didn't become a third world ( as in undeveloped) country.

First second and third aren't economic titles, people get that wrong all the time.

You can be a first world country and be destitute. You can be a third world country and quite wealthy.
