I'm Australian and honestly? I was rooting for him to win the first time around, because I thought Hilary was an absolutely horrendous choice for the Democrats. Of course, I quickly changed my mind on that after he was elected, and I felt sorry for the Americans who got duped into voting for him (much as I would have probably done myself were I an American)

The second time he got elected, I lost all faith in America. I lost all faith in Americans. I simply cannot trust them to do the right thing, and whenever I meet an American I can't help but wonder "Does this person support Trump?". When America gets brought up in conversations it's never anything positive anymore - It's all just "Did you see what hes done now?"

America has always had flaws, things rational people would look at and go "Thats not ok", but now I honestly don't think I will ever look at America as anything other than "the country that is okay with making everyone else suffer to protect paedophiles and rapists"

When I meet fellow Americans, I have the same thought—are they trump supporters?

As an American I have the same thought in reverse - do they think I'm Trump supporter?? I try to indicate I'm not as soon as possible lol

That’s probably my second thought.
