It's tragicomic that this is what we get from people whose ostensible goal is to "make America great again". This is instead a perfect way to make everyone think America is supremely stupid. It's like thinking that getting a facial tattoo of a cock and balls is going to make everyone think you're cool.
Well, I guess commenting what I really think about … this … would bring this dang moderation in here. I’d say it’s just mediocre. Yeah, maybe it fits the current thing very well.
>What's the biggest brand in the world? If you said Trump, you're not wrong. But what's the foundation of that brand? One that's more globally recognized than practically anything else.
I genuinely and sincerely wish that America can get past this level of mediocre sycophantic Idiocracy. What a pathetic administration that only wants to hear good news for their bad work.
The blunt Trump praise ("This is Trump going bigger than Nixon") is just the icing on the cake.
Is this really all that’s left of the United States, that were once built on big ideas and ideals? A nation of immigrants that distilled the best of all nations, now folding in on itself, a nation of freedom and equality now going after those with the wrong opinion, a nation of science now dictating research?
I can already see the dog and pony show briefings of design solutions that will never see the light of day. Someone will walk away richer and the people will see no benefit. I can’t believe this nation is that stupid.
> To update today's government to be an Apple Store like experience
Please, no. There are few things worse as a consumer than going to the Apple Store.
The overall design is…lacking. It’s fine for a regular website one might stumble upon. For a demo of America’s prowess in design it’s pretty bad and bland. The GIF loop (as mentioned by another commenter) is borked. The text goes to the edges of my screen. The italicized blurb towards the bottom has weird commas and capitalization. The copy just reads weird too.
18F walked so that we could, uh, regress back to crawling around on the floor babbling?

This country is so fucked.

I was doing a write-up on it from looking at the code and about 3/4's of the way through I realized, "there's no possible way a human was this bad."
