Re: Not easy being American with Trump
I think that is a really odd presumption.I don't feel defined as a person by whoever happens to be prime minister
. All administrations in our two countries are temporary and if we don't like them we have the reassurance of knowing they won't be there forever.

I swear I think Trump is the anti-Christ. Unfortunately I live in a red state that helped vote him into office. I want to put anti-Trump stickers on my car but I am afraid to. I am afraid someone will either shoot me or destroy my car. How sad is that? I don’t feel safe in the “Land of the Free.”
Yes, I do look for exits everywhere I go in case of a mass shooting

Many people have fears of what is happening in the world around them, most probably deal with them in the way you and I do, without any problem. Others however, are more fearful to start with so when the world as they see it becomes worse than it was their fears are probably heightened. Not nice at all to feel like this I imagine but if a person is like that in themselves there is not a lot they can immediately do about it.
There are ways of learning how to better deal with what seem like irrational fears to some people, these can often be very successful so do work for some people but to learn how to do this takes time.

Re: Not easy being American with Trump
I don't think America is crazy. It's a big place, they will have more nut cases than the UK although we don't do too badly. I suppose it is lucky that the nut case at the Tate didn't have a gun.I have been to America several times and never felt I was in any danger. Even walking around new York at night felt safer than walking around London.
I like Trump. My only criticism is that he doesn't always carry out the things he says he will do. I don't see him as a white supremacist or a racist or a second Hitler (remember the Hitler rule). Here in the UK, we are used to our politicians putting non-whites first so we need someone to even the balance. I know it's early days but I can't see Boris doing that
