I now understand the American dream.

I now understand the American dream.

I came to the World Cup because I was offered a last minute ticket to watch England play Croatia in Dallas and I started documenting my journey.

The content went viral on social media. So much so, the President of the United States saw it himself.

I was invited to attend the grand opening of the great American state fair for freedom 250 and halfway through Donald Trumps speech, I was told to come and wait back stage for a photograph.

This sort of thing could only happen in America. As an Englishman I never really understood what America has to make it โ€œthe land of opportunityโ€

But results speak for themselves.

I was thinking about this earlier. I’ve enjoyed so many of the videos of WC visitors being taken back by the greatness of America- many of them saying they’ve been lied to about America and what a wonderful country this is....and the majority of the people in these videos are young or younger...

Meanwhile we have Dbag socialists in this nation trying to tear it down and talking about how awful we are- and a lot of them are young or younger...

Well if you live in the UK and watch BBC and Sky News UK often you may think America is like hell under Trump.

“””As an Englishman I never really understood what America has to make it โ€œthe land of opportunityโ€”””


Oliver is a great example of a person who worked hard, did a great job, and gets rewarded. In such a short time his performance was exceptional.

Now in Merry Old England there likely is a remnant of the Royal Caste System that Oliver lives in today.

Oliver should be an inspiration to Americans that we are still the ‘land of opportunity’ and that we Americans should oppose those socialist schemes that take away opportunities.

I saw that one!!!! Did you see the two brits in the BBQ restaurant and the black guy goes up to them and aggressively says, “You’re from where you’re from- but put the knife and fork down. You’re doing it wrong!!!”...

He then explains you’re supposed to eat ribs with your hands then grabs the guys hands and puts them on the ribs...

The brit eats the ribs and says “This is incredible- i’ve never eaten meat so soft it falls off the bone!!”

The Heart of America is great and good. Only its appendages, New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco are gangrenous.

Interspersed among many positive comments about President Trump and America are always a few that say Trump is a rapist and a pedophile. Are these posted by real people who believe such lies or are they from some kind of a bot that automatically puts in these dishonest comments?

Recently I have watched a series of youtube videos made by some younger fellow from Britain and he usually has his mother on with him and less occasionally he has his sister. They watch videos of what it is like in America and everything about America from the massive Walmart’s, all the drive-thru’s, the enormous size of America, and how different each State is. I will say the younger fellow is just blown away by all of it and kind of hints that they have been lied to and have no idea about the “real” America. The mother seems to be astonished but less so than her son because I think it is because she was schooled before all the anti-American propoganda kicked into full gear.

Overall they feel America is the most wonderful place they have ever seen and set up a trip to actually experience it. That trip is probably on video now.

Thank you. Thank you. That made me smile. What a great country we have!

And we live here!

It is hard to believe our country is not blessed by God.

Trump always was famous, tall & handsome and very rich all his life. Women chased Trump all his life. Even his ex-wives stayed on good terms with him. It is preposterous claims by some liberal women (after he was ruining for and became president) that Trump raped them. Liberals are horrible people. So many of them try to assassinate republicans.

Stick around a bit dude, and you’ll witness the greatest thing that your home country ever did: the celebration of American independence.
