You're right on that.
Europe is seeing its own rise of nationalist-populism. HK is getting worse, too. I notice a lot more people staring at me now who didn't before, hell I had some guy physically attack me on the train the other day, out of nowhere. My girlfriend, mainland Chinese, was frequently called a "locust" by the local HK students when she was at Uni here.
I think some of the commenters in this thread need to take a good hard look at the political shifts in their own country, before criticizing America for Trump. Similarly, Americans need to take note that it's not just happening to them. It's a global shift. If more people realised that, maybe we could get further along in understanding why.
