By Alissa J. Rubin


“In Europe we all see the developments in the United States, and that’s not where we want to go because we see it as chaos..."

Well yeah, its chaos in the US, that's how most of us in Europe see it. We don't want that, we want intelligent leaders who know what they're doing (except for the UK who decided they don't need that and ended up with May)

This is what most people in the US want as well! Unfortunately, we share our country with people who will believe any lie handed to them as long as it's what they want to hear, so we end up with a man who can barely speak coherently and believes that nepotism and lining his own families pockets is the purpose of the presidency.

you are in a dwindling pool of people, most of the world sees Trump as the end result of mass ignorance and a failure of a nation to invest in its own people. Trump is wholly unfit and has stumbled from failure to another like a drunk pissing his pants and trying to pass it off as a spill.

I definitely don't believe all of the US is that stupid and am well aware that many want intelligent leaders but sadly the unintelligent have won the day this time.

No we dont. We value entertainment, and inspiration over policy. I dont want to be inspired I want someone who knows what they are doing and its transparent doing it.

Over all, right-leaning parties, including the parties defined as populist by academics and pollsters, gained seven seats in the Dutch Parliament, giving them 57 percent of the 150-member body in this election, in contrast to 52.6 percent in the last election when they had 79 seats. At the same time, one of the oldest Dutch political forces, the mainstream left Labor Party, cratered.

Looks to me like the Dutch want Populism, just not Mr. Wilders' brand of Populism.

That is very inaccurate. Yes, Trump is an unhinged lunatic, but I have never seen him foaming at the mouth. But if you have pictures, we would love to see them !

You should not talk about yourself like that. There is help for your alcoholism...
