40. From an American living outside the U.S. (44 years)..

Jan 2019

I agree country is already ripped apart.. especially these last several years.. Sorry.. but the truth hurts.. and I am talking about my personal hurt... seeing it even in some my family members living in the U.S. with stated opinions that mirror extreme trumpism... embarrassing and gosh I wish it would stop..
In my travels to other countries the last few years.. the U.S. has lost its genuine admiration and respect. I travel with my Canadian passport and let my once proud U.S. passport expire a few years ago... as there is no real advantage at all to keep it..
