I'm sorry to say it, but even in all those countries he has a lot of right wing looney fans. In Germany you can't open any article about Trump without someone praising him, usually followed by "woke this woke that" blabla.
There are also people in all of these countries who love him. The kind of people who call themselves patriots, yet their goals always align with what's beneficial to Putin.
https://youtu.be/eN2jqTilLOM I hope this gnaws at him even now, having a room full of the world's representatives laughing their asses off at his ignorant lies.
Oddly enough, I remember people quoting their "German friends" back when Obama was POTUS. "They say he is weak and we look weak." Lol. really? He was weak but also a dictator. (I remember that right wing crap back then). If you look hard enough, you can find people that say things you like. Where as Trump is WAY more universally reviled by everybody everywhere- from even before he was POTUS.
The entire UK press (apart from a nasty, squalid corner containing the Daily Mail and GB News) are appalled at the prospect of a pussy-grabbing rapist with felony convictions backed by Putin running for President.
That just fuels them more. They see it as "owning the libs" and that's all that matters. The hatred is their motivation. Seeing people upset at their god king brings joy to their miserable lives. What he says or does doesn't matter.
Vova has gotten himself into an intractable, un-winnable mess in UKR that will inevitably plunge Russia into a major recession or worse. His days presiding over what will soon become a failed state are numbered and he knows it.
He is an existential threat to the world. If he would get into the Oval Office again, Taiwan is toast, Ukraine is lost, NATO would crumble, and Putin will start to expand his new Soviet Union to the west unhindered.
You're not wrong, and it's important to keep that in mind, but the laughing stock narrative is important. Trump feeds off of being labeled as dangerous. It means people are taking him seriously. What he can't stand is being made fun of. The only reason his crowd sizes are talking point is because he hates it. The more it's talked about, the more unhinged he gets. So yes, he is dangerous. But it's important to point out he's also a laughing stock.
He was a laughing stock, then he was a concern, now he's an enemy and his stench is working up the all the vermin in other countries (Vermin being Corrupt Politicians, Racists, and Religious Extremists).
Thats what we keep telling us in Europe until the right wing "minority* parties are voted into the government. And I read the exact same statement here on Imgur in 2016
Scotland's got a good reason to hate Trump. Fucking wanker tried to force people here out of their homes for his golf course (including trying to use compulsory purchase orders, land purchases typically used for public benefit projects like new roads or town centres) and terrorised those that refused to sell (such as "accidentally" bulldozing their gardens and blocking somebody in with a wall of dirt), and thinks that slapping a Saltire on something means he can ignore building regulations
I'm surprised those residents didn't retaliate with drones filled with roundup. Golf courses are very hard to manage and very easy to destroy. They only exist with the tacit approval of the neighborhoods there in. Without that they can't be

He was a laughingstock until he fucking won. Then he became dangerous.

They'll take this as a sign that Trump is feared because he's tough, not because he's a demented clown seeking the launch codes.

And that would be much more impressive if you haven't voted Brexit at the same time the US was electing Trump, and then had Boris as PM.

The world mocks us cuz of Trump. World leaders 100% take him as a joke and a pushover. Easily manipulated.

Let us not forget Scottish comic Janey Godley's protest,

Janey is currently recieving paliative care in a hospice. I hope she can hold on long enough to see trump lose next month.

Yeah, but fortunately only an obsessive minority of the US thinks he is the greatest thing since Hitler.

Yet 74 million voted for him in 2020, that's not a minority.
Eucrow
Unfortunately a lot of that minority are already installed in our government and doing everything in their power to do away with democracy.
PerthAussieMike
But they vote, they make sure they go out and vote whilst there are millions of apathetic Democrats that don't bother
zarathon
You're conflating those that always vote a republican ticket vs those that are voting for trump. Result is the same, however.
Flareside
But but they say there are 90 million of them
putcleverusernamehere
Well, we know there *were* 75M. How many there are now will soon be determined
bigfatpanda89
And there are also 90 million illegal immigrants that voted in 2016. If Vance can make up stories for fun, so can we

He's also a first generation child of a Scottish immigrant. So, a bit of an embarrassment there.

Can you share a source on the latter part of that? Bulldizing gardens and whatnot? I believe you but would like to read about it.

Can't 100% say for certain, but it could be in the "You've been Trumped" documentary/film

OK, thank you!
