Trump: The First Year

You’ve never been to Europe especially eastern or central Europe have you?

Only in America and Canada do people constantly smile. If you go around doing that in Europe they’ll think you’re retarded

Constant smiles? You’ve clearly never been to Boston.

lol, no shit. I mean, whut? No one constantly smiles in America. Where does this shit come from??

? I was responding sarcastically to Raj?

Google search ‘American Smile’

Why am I not surprised by this reaction

Yes, there are cultural differences globally in regards to smiling, as well as many other examples of body language in public. This in fact is noticeable within America itself when you compare subcultures (e.g. Southern California vs New England). You are making dumb points while assuming our ignorance. All for what… to explain Melania’s facial expression at the inauguration? Dumb!

Yes, the President of Croatia has an excellent taste when it comes to men. I guess he reminded her of her husband…

Lmao. He’s the one who looks like he’s gone through two pregnancies. Happy looking family though. Good for them. I don’t want to bash on um.

Uh, I have to disagree with this. I regularly travel to the US at least once a year and I’m still freaked out by constant smiling (that and the fact that everyone uses first names). It’s deeply disturbing and it makes me feel like everyone’s psychotic.

The person posting that image is suggesting what with it? Yet I’m dumb for essentially doing the same thing

Ya, sorry if that was confusing. I agree with you. I was laughing at the raj.

Let me help you out here.

You posted a photo of Croatia’s female president looking admiringly at Donald Trump, the obvious implication being that Trump radiates alphaness to the degree that a photo from a public event demonstrates his utter irresistibility to women.

I posted a photo of his own wife, standing behind him at his own inauguration, with her smile melting into a frown the moment Donald turns away (the full moment captured here: Melania Trump Definitely Loves Her Husband and Is Very Happy to Be Here), the implication being that maybe Melania is no longer so enamored with the Donald.

Do I think a single moment in time captures the Melania-Donald relationship? No matter how funny the GIF looks, of course not. Likewise, I don’t think a still photo of a Croatian woman looking at Donald illustrates that he is a fighter jet made of biceps that women cannot resist.

You travel to the US for business correct? It’s customary to smile at someone when we greet them. No one smiles all day long…

That’s what living in the greatest country in the world does to people. :wink:

Well, except Boston.

It’s warranted. .Well we’re pretty much bashing her for faking the starry eyed look to ingratiate herself with The Donald.

Her official explanation is that she did that do get some more US military hardware. You know, “close your eyes and think of England” stuff.

I’ve pointed out several examples of Trump being an alpha male for well over a year. That is one example of many.

He may have alpha traits or tendencies, but he is not alpha. Believe me.

Ya, lots of alpha’s get draft deferments because their lil feetsy hurt…

Perhaps you don’t notice that as it’s normal for you, but for us non-Americans that’s the most striking and disconcerting aspect of US culture. Well, that and the morbidly obese people.

And don’t get me started on the small town friendliness and politeness. On one hand I think that’s great, small communities and all that but the other hand there’s a nagging fear I’ll be dragged into a barn and sacrificed to someone/something.
