    Here, I fixed it:

    “If you provide a false equivalence for trump failure equal being to America failure, if you wish for trump success when it is that that is causing America to fail, you’re a domestic terrorist.”

      It’s also a false equivalence that the U.S. (a state) failing is America (a nation) failing.

      If you wish for A you want B. If you want B you are C, where C = Domestic Terrorist and B = Wanting America to fail and A = Trump Failing

      But we can see counter examples is this template. Let’s assume ‘you’ is always American because an Iranian that satisfies A&B would not be a domestic terrorist.

      Instead imagine I have a massive put option placed on private prison stocks. I would want Trump’s deportation policies to fail which would drive down private prison expansion. I wouldn’t consider myself a domestic terrorist. Just betting against American businesses, which is already fair and square capitalism.
