Evidently a lot of idiots. Sadly I have friends over here that think he's great. They know to not talk about it to me, and really what's the point. They see a few minutes a week of him " saying it how it is" and "getting things done".

I don't bother arguing with rump supporters, it's a waste of time.

On another note, I have travelled through your country a little bit back in 1998. Bloody beautiful scenery. Jo Burg was a bit scary.

1998, I was 12 years old lol. The '90s were peak South Africa from my perspective. When we were all still high on Mandela, before Jacob Zuma came along and killed every last bit of hope for the future. That beautiful scenery unfortunately usually only gets seen by tourists because the rest of us are too busy trying to put food on the table.

All I've seen of Australia was the inside of an airport on my way to New Zealand lol.
