They don’t mean scrutiny in the same way that the Trump administration is actively checking visitors’ social media for criticism of Dear Leader, they mean how foreigners in general often want to talk about and criticize Trump when they recognize Americans abroad, and are sometimes a bit rude about it.
Seems fair, if you ask me.

Well, it’s the easiest way to tell if they are morons, isn’t it?

I’m a Canadian traveling in the Netherlands right now and I’m getting pretty sick of being mistaken for an American. Immediate change of attitude as soon as I identify myself as not-American

Went to Italy, France and Monaco a month ago and we got asked a lot about how we are doing and what is going on in the US. All we could say was “the people embarrassing us right now don’t really travel. We’re some of the good ones, believe us!!!”

Goddamn right. Trump voters have ruined America’s reputation and should be subjected to scrutiny and shunning abroad

I’m about to head out to Madrid in 2 days and I don’t look forward to being pestered about it in Spain lol. Just gonna mind my own business. Yeah he’s around but I didn’t vote for him and we’re stuck with him for 3 more years so it is what it is

Yep. Was appropriately ashamed of America for 8 years under Bush. Am appropriately ashamed of America for 8 years under Trump.
People think he’s a dumb garbage monster because he’s a dumb garbage monster.

I’m taking a trip to Japan in February. I cannot wait to talk shit about this cyst of an administration to anyone who wants to get into it.

I was in London and Paris in August and no one treated us differently. Everyone was very friendly.

There were definitely some polite inquiries on my last trip. People want to know what the hell we’re thinking.

Good. Revoke their visas if they show pro-Trump positions.

Don’t pretend to be Canadian. Just own your shit, admit the mistakes America made and go about being a decent human being.

American here.
It’s a fair question.

A MAGA voter should absolutely welcome being questioned like this if they find themselves in another country. Indeed – it’s exactly how they want to treat anyone that doesn’t look like them or have a gold cross around their fucking necks in America.

I have a clean conscience. I didn’t vote for him. I voted straight blue since 08
But half these maga scum lie

It’s pretty easy to tell…..
it’s exactly like picking out a maga dude in a crowd. Fairly easy.

Good idea, I’m gonna start asking this now.

I truly hope that the majority of people in democratic nations abroad are horrified by what they’re seeing in America, because my biggest fear is that we’ll see a huge wave of far-right leadership across the globe.
If Trump’s administration turns more people abroad against far-right politics, then at least it will have had some unintentional positive effect. I want to believe that the US is largely an aberration and doesn’t represent a larger global regression toward inequality, religious extremism, science denial, etc.

I’m in Japan and no one has asked me that yet.

Everyone who voted for Trump is a traitor to this nation…every election cycle.

The majority of MAGA have never left the state they were born in.

Good. They deserve shame, ridicule, and ostracization for the rest of their lives.

What a stupid question. The vast majority of Trump voters took their first trip out of the trailer park to go to one of his rallies.

I travelled to Cuba in Feb and March of 2017. I was constantly asked what I thought of Trump. Everyone I encountered liked Obama and thought Trump was an idiot or a psycho. The average Cuban is more informed than a huge swath of the US electorate.

Going to Amsterdam Thursday can’t wait to tell everyone how much I didn’t vote for him.

The unexpected good version of “But what kind of American are you?”

I remember watching this tiktok video of a MAGAt who went to Mexico for a few days to get some dental work done because it was too expensive in the States. Honestly, I hope the Mexicans spat in her coffee and shat in her food cuz clearly these brainded freaks don’t understand the 10 levels of irony and hypocrisy in what they do. Any and every American who goes abroad should be forced to give proof of vaccination and made to justify their voting history, or lack thereof.
Canadians also need to call out Americans who keep pretending they’re Canadians when they visit other countries. Be proud of your heritage and politics; don’t be shy.

This was definitely a thing during his first term too. But, I imagine much worse during this shit storm dumpster fire.

Can confirm. Traveled in Germany for a few weeks. Any amount of casual conversation would turn to the “who did you vote for” angle. The folks with questions were earnestly wanting to know just how such an immoral and vacuous simpleton could get so much support. I didn’t sense anger very much. Just disbelief and disappointment.
LDGod99 on
The idea of Trump supporters going to other countries to enjoy life there is just astoundingly hypocritical.
quantumoflogic on
Most non-Americans view Trump a bit like a toddler holding a gun. We will tell the toddler anything they want to hear to try and avoid the gun going off (which seems to be why Trump thinks he is “respected”) and we are trying to collect as much support as possible to contain the problem. If you look at any interaction through the “toddler with a gun” lens, it will help things make sense.

Well deserved.
This is kind of a shitty headline.
