    Even then, you wouldn’t be the first or last country to fall victim to populist messages from an extremist dictator-wannabe. Shit happens. Have you considered this might be a good thing, that it’ll ensure stability in the region, that Trump as a president opens up negotiation strategies with previously near-hostile nations like Russia/NK/China, or whatever other party lines the US usually has for installing puppet regimes in other countries?

    Trump being president is, from any point of view, nothing special. It’s just a big deal because now it’s happening to you, as opposed to your country or another superpower forcing it on a third world country. It too shall pass. The rest of the world will just be friendly with China instead for a while, until the next would-be empire with a chip on their shoulder comes along.

      “Shit happens” it’s my country obviously I give a shit. If you don’t understand that the US presidency plays a role beyond foreign relations or just don’t care about civil rights and wealth disparity in my country that’s not something we’re going to reach an agreement on
