MAGA: Do you believe Trump when he says that his achievement x is the best or biggest in history, or that his opposition is the worst in history?

Or do you recognize that as hyperbolic rhetoric?
Or if you do believe it, do you do any research to verify it?

I mean, how likely is it really that everything Trump does is better than ever in history and that everything his political opponents do is the worst in history?

Does that kind of sensational and continuous claim ever make you take a step back and wonder how trustworthy the man is?

For me as someone who spends most of her social time in Scandinavian countries, it isn't really a matter of believing if what Trump says is true or not, but more about how Trump exemplifies how the European part of the world has come to understand how the American mind thinks and acts everywhere Americans travel when they leave their own country on vacation or on business trips.

Trump for us, is the American standard, the American ambassador representing the American people if you will, who reflects how every European or Scandinavian has perceived every American to be for at least as far back as my great-grandfather's time which is less than 100 years.

So when all of us over here saw Trump getting involved in politics back in 2016, who Trump was and what Trump was all about is also how we had come to understand the workings of the American mind anyway, long before Trump ever showed up for his grandiose escalator ride with his wife in Trump Tower.

it's good to hear perspectives from outside america. Americans can get altogether too focused on America.
I think a lot of MAGA don't understand how embarrassing Trump is for them on the world stage.

Honestly? Americans must dump Donald Trump as the leader of the Republican Party because Trump is undermining the integrity of the American fabric. When the word "American" or "America" or "The USA" is mentioned in Sweden for example, eyes roll and the name Donald Trump immediately emerges and people cover their ears!
