In just a few moments ago I posted a reply to the effect that Donald Trump would caricature of us abroad but I take very little joy at this apparent vindication.

Having lived in Germany now for several years I can tell you that the state of reporting about America in Europe in general and Germany in particular is truly appalling. Imagine America without National Review or talk radio and with only the three networks and the two remaining cable channels. The result is a population that regards America in many ways quite fondly but in many other ways as an incomprehensible menagerie of Neanderthals.

I have often described going into a bookstore near my little village with a big table featuring only books about America but all of them were negative, especially about George Bush who was president at the time, and not one was positive. The uniformity of opinion here is appalling. Everyone is opposed to fracking, everyone is green, everyone opposed the war in Iraq, everybody thinks George Bush is a moron, 40% of the country thinks the CIA blew up the World Trade Center.

So it is not surprising that the left-wing media in Europe caricatures Donald Trump but it is also sad that we have someone who makes it so easy for them.

Just so.

I recall the Euros having the same attitude about Reagan when their only source of information came from US print media. Pre-internet.

Of course the KGB Disinformation Bureau. worked mightily to foster that distorted image, with pay offs just as I.F. Stone was on their payroll.

Wow, how can you stand living there then? I guess you just keep your opinions to yourself?

We left Mexifornia because we couldn’t stand all the liberals.

Well, I guess that Ted Cruz would be more to their liking, right? They would piss their Euroweenie Panties if he won.

Just another Right Wing Nutcase to scare them to death just like Reagan did when he took on the Soviet Union.

Unless it’s Bernie or Hillary, the Euroweenies won’t be happy, not that I give a Rats A$$ what those Pussies think.
