You know, it's funny. In my line of work I meet Americans travelling through Europe on a daily basis. Many former and current diplomats, members of the armed forces, State department employees, corporate heads, actors, actresses & directors but mostly a lot of so-called 'average,' run of the mill, middle class Americans.
These folks are from all over the States, big cities, west coast, east coast and yes, middle America. Small towns even. And it seems one thing bonds them all. With a few exceptions they all think Trump is destroying the fundamental fabric of America. They are embarrased, even ashamed of Trump. I always tell them about this board, the posters who love Trump so much they will go through a wall defending him. Those who believe he represents fly-over country, the little man. An outsider taking on the swamp in DC. Hearing this, they scoff and say nobody who loves America is proud of what Trump is doing.
I'm sure they are all wrong and you guys are right. I'm sure it's just the fake news media that puts these evil thoughts into my head, and Trump is truly a hero and a saviour. Maybe one of these days I'll wake up and realize this has been a terrible nightmare. I got Trump wrong from the beginning. Everything I read, hear and see is simply a mirage. I'll finally see him as the knight in shining armour you all seem to think he is. One of these days....
wow. that slice of Americana really doesn't represent America as a whole at all.
raise your hand if you have the kind of scratch lying around to book a flight to Hungary for even weekend stay, let alone to go hob knobbing with the people there and eat at the local restaurants/cafes.
you described quite a large swath of the wealthy, Tibs. congrats.
