I have lost count of the number of times I have seen right-wingers from America (it never seems to be other countries) on this website declare that "liberalism is a mental illness."
That is not the only similarity. I am not saying that all American righties support all of these views, but the following are common among them.
They support the death penalty, outlawed in every other Western/developed country, if they are not executing you, they support locking you up for an extremely long sentence. Communist countries all did those things. They don't approve of homosexuals. "The conditions that lead to it don't exist in the Soviet Union, comrade." After which they were executed.

Anyway, the Republicans seem to think it's a good idea to bring in foreigners into American politics. I thought that might confuse the Trump base, as they are confused already. I'm confused as well. I was confused with Brexit!
Maybe you can give me a clue about how Trump's brain works. My thoughts are "What the he** are you thinking!" (It merits an exclamation mark, for hyperbole.) less

He had his hands full with his resources, helping victims. But when Obama showed up a few days later, he told them he was giving them $27 million.
Trump showed up the week before, in spite of being told not to come. Especially for a photo shoot. So what did he bring to help the victims?
