The Rude Pundit: No one in Spain gives a fuck about Trump

[Cyrano]

"So, yeah, I'm far away in Spain. Barcelona, to be precise, on a much-needed escape from the intense fuckery of the Trump administration. It's a goddamn paradise on that account. Unlike the UK, I haven't seen a single piece of protest art (or, and this is entirely unlikely at all, supportive art) mentioning or picturing our dumb motherfucker of a president. Nothing. No graffiti. No signs. No posters. Not a goddamned word stenciled anywhere.

You got that, Donald Trump? Nobody fucking thinks about you here. Nobody fucking cares about you. They have other shit to do and worry about, like Catalan independence and that kind of shit."

Ain't it great that there's a civilized, European country that is totally ignoring the existence of a man who is trying to become the greatest buffoon in recorded history.

2. Nobody anywhere seems to care.

I travel a lot. And when I travel, I get talking to people. Usually in airports.

Nobody asks me about Trump anymore. I guess they figure there's no point; the kind of American who'd visit your country probably ain't the sort who'd vote for Trump anyway.

3. I thought the orange anus was in Spain for a working holiday

But it was Dolores Leis Antelo, Spanish potato farmer extraordinaire.

4. Uniquely American.

We tend to think that everyone else in the world is on pins and needles about our business. It would make some sense the people hear about what is going on in the US because we are the largest economy in the world, and we have a ton of nuclear weapons, but it is definitely our own egoism that makes us think that people are hanging on our every word.

5. I am in Scotland and Ireland

They are caught up in Brexit. No thought to his Orangeness. They are worried about Boris.

8. Boris and Donnie look like they were part of some weird genetic experiment

16. They certainly do!

6. Trump is the ugly American

When I went to Europe in the summer of 2001(that’s before 9/11) I was surprised by how much I got good vibes for being American. The last time I had been in France, for instance, was right after De Gaulle had pulled out of NATO and the French economy was going through some major inflation. Mucho bad vibes. After Clinton we got the good vibes.

Franco was still alive. So much for Spain then.

7. I want to go to Spain.

9. Correction: HAS become the greatest buffoon in recorded history

He earned that title in 2016, during the campaign. Lets just hope that justice gets him after this stunt. Nothing would fit him best than a suit to match his skin, and his hair.

10. I was in Spain recently and he's 100% right

11. You can say that for most of Europe...

Except the UK, where we've exported our particular brand of stupidity to the ole mother country.

14. "...Catalan independence and that kind of shit."

We saw evidence of this everywhere in Barcelona when we were there last year:

15. In Spain they cared about Trump in 2016

I was there right before the election, and they cared a lot about Trump then. Same then elsewhere in Europe at that time. Now they are all fatigued much like we are.
