In the past I have sometimes got into political discussions here, but mostly about their country, not mine. Sunday night's questioning unsettled me, of course it did, how could it not?
Went to a dinner party here in Nice Sunday night, 14 people, me the only foreigner. They were on me at once. What about Trump, what about the current American elections? It surprised me that Frenchmen living on the Cote d'Azur knew so much about him and them. They seemed to know more than most Americans. They were looking to me for explanations. Mine didn't satisfy them, however. Finally they decided on what to them was the only possible answer: Americans were crazy. Look at all the guns, look at capital punishment, look at the medical situation, look at the treatment of blacks. Etc. And now Trump and the other republican candidates. How could any sane country accept stuff like that?
