Everything… including religion & romance?

Ha ha ha! And Donald Trump just got elected……

The common people of the USA & the leadership of the rest of the world should resist and overcome any harmful decisions by this administration (& specifically this POTUS) in the future.

My image of, & respect for, America has taken a further beating with this video! What a fucked up nation (very much like mine, and not really that better/greater)! It’s not even worth the name/adjective ‘developed’…
