I don't think it's a good idea to assign Trump's beliefs, or those of his administration, to America as a whole. Any more, frankly, than it's a good idea to assign those of his opposition to the country as a whole.
Well of course, but right now they represent the country.
The country contains all of us, all the time.
The leadership is not the country.
And yet, the ruling government are the representatives of the country.
