    I don’t know why this is getting downvoted.

    The US election normally has world-wide implications in terms of women’s health funding, international aide, whether countries are allowed to be okay with gay people - it’s extremely impactful.

    In this particular case Trump would likely pull funding from any of the countries that cozied up to the US economically in favor of Chinese investors - or just issue extremely destructive fiats on trade rules that destroy random economies… he’s currently proposing a 20% import tariff that’d likely devastate the US’s closest allies but also cause shocks to any other interconnected economies.

      I did not downvote it, but I understand the frustration when it comes to not hoping to see tons of articles, each one about what people from one country think about the situation.

    For a fleeting moment, I read this as perhaps one of the most subtle trolls laid on the Birthers we’ve ever seen.

    But no, actually this was the president of Kenya and not some other Kenyan president. I feel robbed
