HAIKU FOR THE PRESIDENT

If I were to say:
"I really like Mr Trump!" 
Would you despise me? 

Should I deride you
For your quick intolerance?
Big, angry questions. 

Anyway, it's all
Highly hypothetical. 
So let's all relax.

I don’t think I’d despise you, but my infatuation with you would likely drop dramatically. 😉

  Gosh, I suspect you’re trying to make me blush again. 😉
  With specific regard to the US President, I’m happy to say that I don’t spend much time thinking of the man. 🙂

    He’s a bit ridiculous. Being a neighbouring country it’s worrisome for me. At least he isn’t my president. I would have not choice but to marry aboard and leave my beloved home. For at least four years lol

    Ah, too close for comfort?
    Haha yes, a Trump-hating American friend of mine has a “digital countdown clock” until the 2021 presidential inauguration… 1400 days or something.? My friend was flirting with applying for Canadian citizenship — not sure how serious she was being [!]

    I work on HR. You’d be surprised how many US applicants I get in a day.

    And to think there was once a belief among certain Americans that all Canadians secretly wanted to be American… (!)

    Haha that sounds more plausible. 😉
    What’s that expression? “In bed with an elephant”? The bigger nation, being the elephant, is sadly perhaps less mindful of the mindset of the smaller one. 😉

    I don’t think so…but she’s saying Trump is better for Russia than Hilary. Hilary hates Putin. We don’t need such presidents in America :))

    Ah yes, the Russian dimension… that makes sense, of course!
    In the UK the common consensus seems to be (from my perspective) that the US electorate was given a poor choice in 2016. After that, views are somewhat mixed!

  Of course, I was referencing Ken Trump, the kindly president of a Used Car Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 😉
  *looks around nervously and wonders if that was plausible*
