Embrace the grift, thieving, war mongering and outright lying!

You forgot some of the good stuff that the 21st century "conservative" embraces:

-grabbing them by the pu$%y
-pornstars
-adultery
-multiple baby mamas
-calling service members "suckers and losers"
-bullying female reporters "quiet piggy"
-posting racist AI videos: Obama monkey video depictions
-spending more time on social media than a fourteen year-old girl
-golfing every single weekend

I could go on..

Every time you open your mouth at a hotel or to order food at a restaurant or to buy a coffee at a cafe they know you’re an ugly American tho.

It is super embarrassing traveling abroad as an American right now. So many people across the planet are suffering because of what we've done. Gas prices are exploding in countries across the planet, and they are all 1000% blaming Americans for it. For example, we are traveling to Thailand later this year. They are facing energy crises, fuel shortages, and had their shipped bombed because of us.

It is extremely embarrassing to be an American over there right now.

So don't go? It sounds like it's causing you extreme psychic discomfort.

Uh huh.

I was in Europe over the holidays and headed back next week. Everyone we spoke with understood that not all Americans are horrible. It was fine, and I expect it to be fine again.

Tell them you voted for Trump and it will be even more fine. Seriously. Many here love him. I even saw a British lady last week with a Trump purse. I didn’t even know they made those.

As someone with EU family, this is rich. My ancient great uncle lives in a tiny house in the edge of the sea in a village you have definitely never heard of and the very first thing he said to us was "boy that Trump is a [expletive] moron".

Sure, some people don’t like him, but plenty of Europeans do!

Keep telling yourself that.

A few months ago, well before Iran, I commented on another thread that I was very embarrassed and ashamed to be an American abroad because of what's going on in our country right now, and that virtually every time I told someone I was American I could sense the disapproval -- so I made a point of immediately making my hatred for Trump clear in the same sentence ("I'm from the US and I hate Trump"). Many posters bit my head off, insisting I was imagining things. I wasn't.

As for all the posters who swear that Trump has a lot of support among Europeans, all I can say is the polls don't bear that out at all. Obviously polls aren't perfect, but they're more reliable than anecdotes.

It’s true. The fact that you question it shows me you have not interacted with many Europeans, especially in rural areas.

Depends on the country PP. The polls will look far different in France and Hungary than they will in Germany or the Netherlands.

Polls in France show Trump with negative ratings of 75 percent. I wouldn't call that support. As for Hungary, who gives a shit.

Most of Trump supporters don't travel outside the US. The ones that do are the ones in his administration taking fabulous luxury vacations and private jets, family, security detail-- all on our dime.

I had some dinner with work connections from the UK and one of them admitted he voted for Brexit because he thought it wouldn't pass. He admitted it was a mistake, though. But we did thoroughly mock him (it very much negatively impacted his work).

The war has changed any good opinion anyone might have had. And now he’s begging nato for help but everyone remembers he bullied Greenland and threatened to take over another nato ally.

NP. It's simply true. I had several interactions last year in Europe where people spoke approvingly of Trump. It was bizarre and unsettling.

Again, anecdotes. There are hundreds of millions of Europeans. And the polls simply disagree with you.
