A German man fell so in love with the USA while traveling the country during the World Cup that he cried tears of joy and admiration during an interview with NBC 10 in Boston.

It’s also extremely unfortunate that Americans lie about their fellow Americans (and themselves) personally, professionally and financially all the time. That’s no way to “form a more perfect union”!
I remember fifty years ago visitors from Europe afraid to go out of their hotels due to all the crime THEY SAW ON TV SHOWS in their native Europe.
They were shocked to find it was not bad as portrayed.
That's only partly true. Yes Leftist European elites get their talking points about America from Leftist American elites. The other half of the story is that's what they so badly wanted to believe in the first place.
Americans should start blaming Democrats for slavery, segregation, Trail of Tears, Japanese internment, family busting welfare, affirmative action / DEI, illegal immigration, and voter fraud.
Part of it is our freedom. We are not submissive and do not live in fear. We went to Cuba (shhh before it was opened) and before we even checked in to our hotel went into the bar to have a drink. We hadn’t said a word to anyone before the waitress came over and said...Americanos? We asked...how did you know? She said....you always walk like you own the place.
He must have been watching DNBC before he came here to find out they were lying to him.
I have seen CNN international while in Europe.
What they report is designed to run down the USA.
If the “world” really hates us, why does so much of it want to come here to live?
What does that even mean? Walk like we’re not looking over our shoulders for the secret police? Walk like free people?

“Maybe he should be more afraid of his own government.”
Exactly what my niece’s husband told him.
There is a YouTube channel by a guy whose handle is "Serpentza" who lived in Communist China for 15 years, and he made that point. He is originally from South Africa (and I believe he became an American citizen after he left China) He said that in China, many newcomers who don't know the language or the writing have no idea how abjectly racist many Chinese are, and it is a shock when they begin to learn the language. Also, your comment about how big the USA is was amusing to me after seeing a report of a bunch of Scottish guys in Boston who completely didn't understand the distance between Boston and Miami, and decided to drive, thinking it would be an easy, short trip!
They should know we’re nice as we rebuilt and then protected their sorry country from 1945 on.

Heck, I think about that when I have to go to the ATL. Anything inside 285, and especially anything south of I-20, is hostile territory.
Free stuff....or so called free stuff that the taxpayer pays for.
When I worked for Wally, we had a bunch of Brits come over to Bentonville, Arkansas in the early 2000s from the chain Wally owned in the UK. I was driving them and they were looking around asking about the house sizes. I told them they were really squeezing houses into smaller and smaller lots - some as small as 1/4 of an acre and how much I really hated this trend, when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s 1/2 acre lots were much more common. They thought I was joking. To them 1/4 of an acre was a big lot size. I just told them to look around out the window. Arkansas is half the land area of the UK. The UK had 60 million people. So to have the same population density, Arkansas would need to have 30 million. It actually had 2.5 million.
Its not just the Brits. All the continentals are like that (ie they don't grasp the size and distance). The ONLY ones who truly understood were the Russians.
No, they're Democrats. Learn the difference.
If you think controlled / government mainstream media in the USA is bad - it's 10X worse elsewhere. Even in so-called "free" countries like Germany
HOW MANY “CAVITIES” DOES HE HAVE?????
MORE THAN NORMAL???
