You will quickly discover that the values that you hold and the values that they hold are not at all similar. They were just pretending to get your support. And after they no longer need the useful idiot guess what will happen to you?
I’m a Norwegian. But had I voted for Trump as an American I would so far have gotten what I wanted. He’s doing exactly what he ran on; still a lot of work left to do, particularly on the real economy of the average Joe (stonks aren’t real IMO), but he’s fixed the border, made America respected, working for the American people’s future. Removing at least some wasteful government spending and getting rid of illegals.
If only Norway had the political system to allow something similar…
> made America respected
Did he? Or did you mean "feared"? So "respect" in the Machiavellian sense of the word?
A lot of people now dealing with Trump, even his allies, seem to be walking on egg shells, trying not to say something that angers him, appeasing him with adulation and false praise, and trying very hard to remind him "we're all friends". Much like one would treat a dangerous guys who happens to be holding a gun.
