It’s for good reason. Along with gutting USAID, Trump is actively recruiting wealthy white South Africans to become US citizens. The massive transfer of wealth with severely impact South Africa’s economy.

I'd be surprised if the majority of US citizens don't hate the rapist, convicted felon conman traitor Donald Trump by now..

It's genuinely hard to tell what a lot of Americans think because foreign propaganda bots are crawling all over the socials and television is a heap of hot trash. I can say I have some friends in red states who have really really really awful humans as people they call friends on their profiles. But, it's hard to truly gauge because the only public conversations to be had are with troll bots or absolute are up meth heads.

Uh... Americans, y'all are way too close to your great leader appointing himself god-king. Closer than you might think.
