• I know you’re kidding, but when I travel to the BVIs, Antigua, the Caribbean in general, they all hold Trump in very high esteem, they’re surprised I don’t actually.

    People in developing countries (am I allowed to say that anymore?) see him as a rogue outsider that beat the political elite at their own game by being himself.

    They don’t see that he was a tool for another set of corrupt politicians to get two justices and maybe two more, they just see a hero.

    Edit: Why the fuck are you down voting? This is my experience in other countries. They look up to the piss baby man child. These are candid conversations with real people y’all. I know he’s a billionaire piece of shit, but that’s not the messaging getting out to the rest of the world.

      I spent about a decade working with refugees and had the same experience with Pakistani people. It felt like I was in bizarro world. They’re waiting 10+ years to get to the US, and during that time Trump basically tries to ban refugee entries altogether, and they’re still like, nope Trump’s a great guy. I don’t understand the world I guess.
