Only claimed by the "right" wing politicians and media willing to lie at every turn to justify their own looting of the nation and the world with capitalist armies and financial dictatorship.  The current administration is the poster children for all of the worst of capitalism's billionaire barons willing to lie, cheat, steal, and murder to further their own ends.  Most of the "left" you disparage are buried in foreign cemeteries as they fought for human rights over capitalist tyranny.
