Dont doubt that for a second. I've had a lot of friends over the internet the past 20 years from the US. There's just a lot of absolutely insane news from the US lately though. Lot of it coming from the Trump presidency ofc, but it's pretty much all what you hear and read. Sadly.

Will visit USA for the first time at the very end of the year though, looking forward to it.

The Trump hysteria is largely fabricated, or at least exaggerated. These guys just want ratings, and the masses fighting amongst themselves.. All it is. I mean the guy's an idiot and I'm not crazy about him, probably something of a xenophobe and egotist - but he's no satan or Hitler many make him out to be.. Hell, it's mostly our Democrat controlled cities that have gone to shit if anything (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, etc). 

But yeah, at least from my experience, most of us are well meaning people who just want to mind their own business just like anywhere else. Though I have no basis for comparison as I've yet to leave this rock myself..

I think a lot of it is also the fact that we have a whopping 320 million people, so naturally crazy things are going to happen here from time to time. But it's also such a large place that it's almost more like a continent than a country. 

Where in the US are you going? Hope you enjoy the trip - you'll probably gain some pounds when here, but it's worth it lol. Get yourself a local bacon double cheeseburger or some ribs, or if you happen to be in Chicagoland, my area, deep dish pizza! That's fatty U.S. dining at its finest right there haha. 

I'll visit New York! Got tickets for the last ever Dillinger Escape Plan show so I kind of had to finally go to the US... so I will make sure to do stuff I've always wanted to do in the US, watch an NHL game, visit Nintendo World Store, eat burgers (sadly my wife is a vegetarian but that's her problem heh), if I can find some retrogaming stores I'll  visit those , etc etc... Will stay for 6 days, wont be able to do everything I want but will try my best to make the best of it =)
