DEFINITELY by design! His 2 memoirs are riddled with self-serving lies that he's admitted to; the people he has chosen to associate with throughout his adult life have all been Marxists or near-Marxists; his rhetoric and illogical basis of action ("fairness") ... it's all a set up to remove us from the world stage and delegate us to a 2nd tier nation ... behind Russia and China.
But I may be somewhat biased ... why? Because I love my country and am proud of it; warts and all.
