WOW this is just too rich not to share. You will LOVE it
= new reply since forum marked as read
and oh so tasteless.
He's everything I most despise about human beings. 
The rich name drop to show off how much they spent, and we poor folk name drop when we get designer stuff for a bargain.
We all feel great when we can get something the rich pay top dollar for almost nothing.
It wouldn't be the same if we bought any old non brand pants for $20. But an Ann Klein pair, well that's something to brag about! 
Maybe my humor is too into irony.
most of whom are never found near the traditional hotel scene.
I see many of them walking on Hope Road towards Bob Marley's home/museum.
I run into them on campus and in the hills of Portland, Irish Town and Gordon Town.
I think the worst part of the Ugly American whether media hack or tourist is the belief that they are 'exceptional' and rules and norms in other countries don't apply to them.
You've traveled a lot so you know them well
but I have traveled and/or lived in places that Americans visit, so have seen plenty of unpleasant behavior.
and heard of how the average American comes across ( NOT us intelligent well behaved ones...
)
I cannot bear to think of someone like Trump following in the footsteps of the Obamas in the WH.
I can see it
No, I don't love it and I'm tired of America being conflated with it's worst people.
Since polls now show Trump being beaten by both Hillary
and Bernie, wouldn't it be more appropriate to consider how THEY might reflect America?.…Tthey'd have "angle" in Americans first time spporting a democratic socialist, a man funded entirely by citizen donation.
Nah...That wouldn't let America bash, so where's the fun in that? 
Unless, of course, you're more interested in "punishing" America for its media than you are in the truth ABOUT America
being disseminated abroad. 
In suppressing the facts about our campaign, another possibility, of course, one you may be loathe to entertain,
is that the New Zealand's media may be showing themselves to be as sensationalist and superficial as ours.
... He is actually saying that the things the rest of the world hate about America are personified by the REPUBLICAN front runner, and the fact that he's the republican front runner is telling the rest of the world a lot about who our republicans really are. That necessarily means that the Dems in the race are, well .... not the republicans, right?
His description of Trump is spot on. And the characteristics listed are worthy of condemnation. And, whether we like it or not, we have done some things to promote such an image globally. I think this guy is just trying to get the word out on which side should have to "own" the image. JMT.
the most embarrassing politician in our country's history?
I have spent most of my life OUTSIDE the USA.
I think my perspective is informed by far more personal international experience than yours, but thanks for attempting to play. It was plainly a struggle, and you acquitted yourself poorly, but you surely tried, I imagine.
The one who didn't think before they posted crafted Post 49 in this thread.
Pat yourself on the back, Snarky! Heckuva job lobbing a lame insult! Bet you felt real cool when you hit that POST button, too!
Amazeballs!
I have no doubt they will be mad at that statement and probably cry about it some. 
especially since polls show him losing an election to Hillary AND Bernie.
He only personifies America to those already invested in hating us, the overwhelming majority of whom
have never been here and know only what they see on the teevee.
