I no longer recognize the country of my birth, the USA.

The USA used to lead on many fronts. Now it is becoming fascistic, anti-scientific, and oppressive.

We used to have a conservative opposition party. That has been replaced by a cult of bobbleheads who kowtow in obeisance to whatever hairball the orange mutt coughs up.

I live in Mexico full time and am a permanent resident. I am so ashamed of the spectacle that Trump has created worldwide, especially his approval of how ICE treats people. Not just immigrants, but children and American citizens. Trump is bordering on being a dictator who uses threats and punishments for people to obey him. I cringe every time I think of those poor men sent to El Salvador without due process and now the detainees held in alligator Alcatraz (put in cages in the worse conditions.) If I do have to be in the states, I can’t wait to cross the border back into Mexico. My home.

In reply to Ken.

I now live full-time in Mexico. It was a great move, and I very much appreciate living under the best government in North America.

In reply to Kenneth Voss. Whatever opens the door for Trump‘s third term opens the door for Obama‘s third term. Wash your hands, there’ll be popcorn for this one.

Your biggest goal in life is to be an object of scorn.

Germany doesn’t want him. How about South Sudan or El Salvador?

The unfavorable rating that Mexicans of the USA have of the USA is not too different from the rating Americans have of the USA. Dictatorships are easy to spot and even easier to hate. It’s simple: does the government exist for the People or do the people exist for the government? Trump thinks the latter. Our Constitution may not be democratic, but it starts: ‘WE THE PEOPLE.’ That excludes dictatorships.

First, negative press coverage of Trump is not 100%. There are many news organizations, podcasters, and reporters who praise Trump!
Secondly, Trump’s language is often artless, crude and very demeaning of organizations he doesn’t like and he prefers to engage in ad hominem attacks against journalists, other politicians, judges, but especially Biden upon whom he’s fixated, and anyone else who disagrees with him. His characterization of immigrants is a blanket demonization. His tariffs have created havoc across the world and his grifting actions of selling Trump labeled gee gaws such as his baseball caps, cologne, a Trump Bible, and his incredible acceptance of the $400 million dollar jet (which he will personally in 2028) from Qatar, which he’s accepted against the clear stipulations of the Emoluments Clause! These are a few reasons he gets negative press!
