    the united statesians are constantly in a state of “why does the rest of the world hate on us?”

    this asshole is getting over 40% in polls. “I lied, but keep posting cat pics” is not what you should get from a prospective second in command of your nation.

    Especially not a nation that is trying to culturally dominate every country on the planet.
