A strategy for American greatness outlined by Donald Trump could change all too quickly according to a political analyst.

While the president has laid out a "roadmap to ensure that America remains the greatest and most successful nation in human history" it does come with some caveats outlined by Politico writer Nahal Toosi.

Trump's vision of a prosperous American future is something previous presidents have tried and failed to do because shifting political tides and global conflicts have forced them to reassess their vision for the USA. ...

Rock legend Neil Young, known for searing protest music that dates to the late 1960s, has a new political ditty to add to his catalog, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Young, who holds dual American-Canadian citizenship, was once part of supergroups Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, interspersed with a prolific solo career.

Haley, in an town hall event with CNN's Jake Tapper, was asked if she really thinks, as a historical matter, that America has never been a racist country.

"I mean, first of all, I will tell you when you look at, you know, the Declaration of Independence, it was that men are created equal with unalienable rights, right?" she replied.

Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig told MSNBC that it was clear Donald Trump is "rooting against" some Americans that he doesn't like.

The comments came amid a New York Times report detailing Trump's rise to power on the backs of what were largely external threats like immigrants and Muslim countries. Now, he's targeting Americans themselves as his "vermin."

"He talked about protecting, for example, Americans from having to fight in endless wars and he would work to stop that," Leonnig recalled. "Now his rhetoric has moved more into the vain of rooting out what he described the other day as vermin inside the country. An internal threat."...
