Many of the expats are also committed to the EU, not so much because they want to be part of a United States of Europe but because they don't want to lose the reciprocal benefits they get by being in the EU. In other words, they would sell out their country and their sovereignty for the price of a health insurance policy payment. For myself and my wife combined that's less than 200 Euros a month. My wife also has an S1 which lets her use the Spanish health care system but since I am American and have to buy my own insurance anyway I thought it was so cheap that I added her so she has 2 options of going for care. I can feel a bit for their plight but since the Trump venom is so rabid any bit of sympathy I might have felt for them goes to nil. Needless to say I'm glad we live in a town where almost everyone speaks Spanish so I don't have to interact with those people very often.

Thanks for this excellent first-hand report. As we all suspect, the media is shaping history by using the distortion of contemporary people and things they hate. I fully expect DJT to be erased from future generations, save for comparisons to the most evil people known (Hitler). I wish I had an answer as to how to stop it, but I don’t.

The biggest anti-Trump person I know is an Australian guy who has never been to the US.

Yeah, sounded nice until that vile journalistic stuff. Yes, they would choose the photo-shoot these days.

Anywhere to get away from the venom these days?

This same story was told about obama and other insidious leftist characters over the years. As usual the left is not original. The take everything they know from others then distort to fit their little fantasy world narrative.

With every passing day it becomes more crystal clear we can’t coexist with these subhuman leftists.

You could live your life there and never have to learn a word of Spanish.

Sounds like the Spanish should expel them and seize their assets. If you go to live in a foreign country, you should make the effort to speak the local language.

Europeans always hate the US, the hate is just more intense when a Republican is in office.

They’re Yurps. They may have been born and raised in Britain. They may hold British passports, but they’re Yurps. 5th columnists within the UK.

I consider myself to be an Anglophile but I don’t know of another country in which the elites tend to be bigger c**ts than the UK. They go the extra mile to be hostile to America and are completely fawning and obsequious to Europe - now that there’s no longer a Soviet Union to idolize. They loved Obama who HATED them. They hate Trump who’s half British himself and very pro British. When one bites the hand that feeds him and licks the boot that kicks him like that, you can only conclude they must be filled with self loathing. That is usually confirmed whenever you hear them talk about the UK.

The average guy on the street? Especially the working class types from the North of England or from Wales? Salt of the Earth. Good people. Our cousins. Fortunately, the majority.

As for those who seem to think I would care what they as a foreigner think about American domestic politics, I just smile and ask them if they know what the upshot of our conversation (ie their screed) is. They usually look confused and ask “what?” Then I grin and say “one vote for Trump!”

When it comes to reporting on Trump, the foreign press is even more despicable than ours. Some of my husband’s cousins are constantly posting vile anti-Trump memes and screeds on Facebook. I ignore them. And I never comment on British politics. Yes, Facebook is disgusting, but most of the time it is the only way to keep up with ‘family’. And of course, the foreign press LOVED Obama.....is anyone surprised?

I have seen this joke made about every president since Reagan. It just gets recycled over and over. It’s like the sun rising in the east in the morning. Nothing to get your knickers in a twist about.

Hope they stay there. We don’t need their remoaning arses here. They should all go over the channel or across the Irish Sea to live in the EU they love so much. Spain is where Britain’s bank robbers, gangsters and other riff raff go anyway. France is where our pretentious middle class twats go, all the cool Brits emigrate to NZ where I am right now.
