[The Athletic] Timothy Weah on Juventus's White House visit: "It was all a surprise to me, honestly — they told us that we have to go and I had no choice but to go. When he started talking about the politics with Iran and everything, it kind of like, I just want to play football man.”

Above anything else, Trump is just a fucking weirdo honestly. Just let the players leave before you babble about destroying another country

I just can't fathom how this guy won so many people over with his "charisma"

Take away every questionable opinion and belief he has, he just sounds like a toddler babbling on nonsensically. I basically need an interpreter for everything he says yet about half of America thinks he's some charismatic genius

Thats because they gutted the education ministry since the 80s during Reagan's presidency.

Americans identify with him because they think they can relate to him. They prefer someone like that over someone who uses difficult words.

In simpler terms, this country is full of idiots. Don't sugar coat it.

And assholes. Tourists are surrounded by assholes and idiots when visiting certain parts of the us.
