Same here. But here some people support him sadly.
Rodents have more class than him.

America is the 3rd largest country on planet earth with about 325 million people living here... below is the list of the 20 most populated countries.... out of the 20 largest countries on planet earth I see only three that I would like to live in... USA, Japan, and Germany... again, we have 200 MILLION more people here than Japan and 4 times the population of Germany... for a country that is so large, with such a diverse population, and a diverse culture, I think we are doing pretty fucking good.... as you can see, the globe can be a shit place and the vast majority of the worlds population lives in questionable countries at best, dare I say "shitholes"... show me a country in the top 9 of population that is doing it better, that you would prefer to live in, Nigeria maybe? how bout India? Bangladesh is hopping! How bout Putin on The Ritz? Canada has 36 million people, which is 3 million less than California alone... Sweden has 9 million and would be only our 12th biggest state, just behind New Jersey lol... Sweden is so white it doesn't even keep track of racial demographics... and now the influx of immigrants has caused a spike in your crime and has charged the politics which hard line right wingers making strides... and Canada has a black population of 2.5% and even less of a Hispanic population... your idea of diversity is white people with different European backgrounds... America has problems, of course, what country of 325 million wouldn't and doesn't? show me a country of 150+ million that is doing it better? some people sure have a guarded and naïve view of the world.... so feel free to continue to point your judgmental stereotyping finger, parrot what the media wants you to believe about this beautiful country, I don't give AF, just don't be upset when I call bullshit. I heard Pakistan is nice in the spring

1	China	1,379,302,784
2	India	1,281,935,872
3	United States	326,625,792
4	Indonesia	260,580,736
5	Brazil	207,353,392
6	Pakistan	204,924,864
7	Nigeria	190,632,256
8	Bangladesh	157,826,576
9	Russia	142,257,520
10	Japan	126,451,400
11	Mexico	124,574,792
12	Ethiopia	105,350,016
13	Philippines	104,256,080
14	Egypt	97,041,072
15	Vietnam	96,160,160
16	Congo, Democratic Republic of the	83,301,152
17	Iran	82,021,568
18	Turkey	80,845,216
19	Germany	80,594,016
20	Thailand	68,414,136

I'm not sure I get the point of this graph. While the US may have a large population, it is actually one of the least dense countries in the world. In fact, it falls near the bottom of the list for population density. So I don't think it's as difficult as you say to manage a country of that population when you have such a huge land mass with bountiful resources.

I'm from New York and I lived in Manhattan and while it's busy, I never felt people were living on top of each other compared to other countries I've visited. I've been to India- completely different story.

"We have many people" is just the blanket defense for people not being able to admit that they've grown up in a country that isn't the greatest, most unique country in the world. 

The top 3 defenses are:
1. We have a bigger population than you, so you can't take our problems into account
2. We are more diverse than you, so you can't take our problems into account
3. We have free speech, no other country has free speech. It's unique to the US to be able to say what's on your mind.

Yo ABBA, who in here said it was "the greatest, most unique" anything? 

so name calling is ok for you now, I see?
