Distrusting the government isn’t new at all, it’s something of all times.

But I’m noticing that more and more people are starting to break their trust with their governments, all over the world.

It’s a bad sign when Governments are distrusted all over the world — that says something about the current state of world leaders, democracy, and governments in general.

The Decline of Trust in Governments

The first time I got interested in politics and governments was in 2015 — I didn’t have a clue about how it worked.

When Donald Trump was running for the Republican candidacy in 2015 and was elected to run for the Republican Party in 2016 I was thinking about it a lot — I had a feeling that he could do it and become the President of the United States.

People around me at school called me a fool and told me that it was the most idiot thing they’ve ever heard.

But in reality, they probably were scared of the fact that it could actually happen.

Therefore, I really enjoyed the election night. I woke up with my prediction becoming reality — that’s cool, isn’t it?
