The problem with many Americans is that they tend to be quite insular. I've lost count of how many have given the rising cost of living as one of their reasons for supporting Trump (never mind he's certifiable). That issue is pretty common across Europe too, what with so many wars pushing up the costs of so many commodities, it is not confined to the States. But so much of their news is all about the U.S. - foreign news isn't a priority, whereas our news is so different and encompasses the world, so we know what the causes of higher costs are. If they seriously think Trump can solve all the problems as he's claimed then they are delusional. And to be honest the same sort of opinions were being spouted here during our General Election. Whatever the faults of Kamala Harris, she is sane, she supports a woman's right to choose and she isn't likely to sell Ukraine down the river to Putin or let Israel loose to do as they please. We can only hope common sense prevails, it terrifies me that that stupid, egotistical, lying, misogynistic, convicted felon can get within sniffing distance of that job, God help us!
