• 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.

      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.
