    Not my president

    Sorry but he is totally your president. You can’t be in favor of the democratic process of elections and then distance yourself from the outcome.

    You as a nation voted for Trump. He’s your president. You own the consequences along with all Americans.

    I don’t keep up with everything he does

    You should, if only to know when the ICE Gestapo might come knocking at your door or when it’s time to flee because it’s too dangerous to stay in the US.

      I don’t live in America, I never had American citizenship, nor family or relatives or any responsibility to vote in your mess guys. Still my president you say?

        Not initial replier, but I too immediately assumed you were an American who didn’t vote for him.

        Likely because of all the, people, we had running around Canada for five or so years saying “Trudeau isn’t my Prime Minister!”, amongst other more colourful anti-Trudeau slogans.

        Most people who say “Not my president” are Americans who feel ashamed. Nobody else in the world feels the need to say that because they have no reason to be ashamed.

          No, were ashamed that our species is collectively capable of voting for a guy like him. We’d love to point a finger at Americans and imitate Nelson with a “Ha Ha!” of pure Schadenfreude (and maybe even a meme of “That’s the worst president they’ve elected in the history of their nation! - That’s the worst president they’ve elected in the history of their nation so far!” or watch from the distance saying “He’s about to do something stupid”)

          But honestly, we just can’t laught at Americans while they’re not only affecting and destroying their lifes but also try to drag down as many others world wide as they can.

      Now I’m just sitting here waiting for a reply along the lines of:

      No, he’s not my president - I’m from Europe/Asia/Africa/South America

      We did NOT vote for Trump, they cheated, and we ALL know it. He is an illegitimate leader, and should be removed from power in any way necessary.

        While we don’t all know he cheated, we do all know he totally would if he thought he could get away with it, and there are some troubling irregularities in the vote counts.

          Well, we know they did at least one major act of elections fraud, but Pence wouldn’t do their bidding and use the fraudulent electoral slates from 7 or so states. Which got him black balled by the GOP. So, who knows what else is happening.
