The media and my fellow Americans treat me like I am a TERRORIST because I support Trump...I am scared to show my support for Trump due to the fear of being beaten bloody, or having my belongings destroyed. When did voting... make me a terrorist? I think it's time for people to wake up...

Just a humble little Kiwi here from the bottom of the world in New Zealand. I just wanted to drop by and say this has been quite an interesting read. I must say lots of people around me are fearful of Trump, and I'll admit (I don't follow your elections closely) that I was pretty worried too when I found out he won. But then I had to ask myself why... the more I read into the situation you guys have, the more I realise I am only hearing things second hand from the media, and there is no way I could truly know what is going on in your country (I've never even been able to visit yet).

It worries me that many people are scared to come out on their support for Trump. If that was going on here I'd feel pretty shameful... luckily we're a pretty chilled country generally and we swing between our left and right parties quite regularly between terms and nobody ever seems that upset / concerned.

I'm interested to see what Trump can achieve, and hopefully he shakes up the "establishment" for you guys to the point where you can actually feel safe / free to voice your opinions (whatever they are). That said, I am still concerned about Trumps policies on Climate Change but I'm hopeful that the American popular opinion will sway him on this, just like it made Obama flip flop on legalised gay marriage (yah).

Anyways Peace out Murica, and btw, we just had one of your navy ships show up today to help out with the aftermath of the massive Earthquake that just shook our capital. Cheers for that!
