    One day hopefully not too distant, the last name Trump will elicit the same wretched disgust as Hitler, worldwide.

      Its different though. Hitler was evil, but to some extent successful in his endeavours before they collapsed.

      Trump is just a liar and swindler all the way down. Theres no begrudging respect

    thousands now want out

    I get what they’re trying to say, but “thousands” is a tiny amount for a country

      Per Wikipedia:

      Tens of thousands in daily protests; 100,000–200,000 at the 13 June rally; more than 250,000 estimated at the 20 June rally

      And Albania has a population of 2.4 million.
