I like Trump, because he validates all my beliefs about and experiences with that country and its citizens. I'm sure there are a few good ones hiding somewhere (I've seen a couple on these forums), but I think it's indicative of the increasing cultural divide that the Brits have raised £10m for the NHS courtesy of a 100-year old man walking up and down his garden, whereas over there they are indulging in a domestic call to arms and civil uprisings.
