Donald Trump is seen outside the US quite differently than he is pictured by many in today's media locally. Al Jazeera has an interesting article about him today. Since many of you may not read it, click here to see how he is seen elsewhere. The article is written by Cliff Schecter. ""Little Donnie Trump, the dumbest kid in the class." This only somewhat facetious refrain was proffered on a day when Trump had said something particularly insane, by a friend of my parents who attended school with The Donald when they were just boys." wrote Schecter."That Trump has taken to promote this silliness should not be surprising. No, because it betrays what Donald Trump is: the living embodiment of every degrading aspect of American culture.
Trump is a guy who is famous for spinning a false resume - as a supposedly intelligent businessman - into fame and additional fortune. Much like with our national political conversation, the truth is incidental. Even when one's tall tales can be empirically proven to be as fake as the synthetic turf grass on Trump's noggin. It is of no matter"
How is it that people outside the US have a clearer vision of truth than those in the US who allow themselves to be brainwashed with lies? That the man can capitalize on the lie that Obama is not a citizen is so anti-American it is difficult for me to believe so many people.(polled to be mostly
Republicans) have so little intelligence that they cannot do the logic and check for themselves the sources which prove he was born in Hawaii when it was legally a State of the US.

One does not have to go overseas to find criticism of the Trump candidacy. In fact, I would say that most of the U.S. press reaction that I've seen to the Donald's campaign has been pretty harsh, for example
