8. It's hard being an American in Europe these days

The questions come hard and fast and there are no answers.

“Is he really going to put all these tariffs in place?”

“Will he really attack Greenland or Canada?”

Will the USA really try to occupy Venezuela?

You know he’s certifiable. Will the Republicans or his cabinet EVER consent to his removal?

Will you ever again have a president like Clinton or Obama or Biden? Or is your country finished as a world leader? Don’t you have anybody there who can inspire the population AND take a more sane direction?

I’m rapidly running out of answers. Which way to the Bastille?
