IDK if anyone noticed,
but Americans cheer when their new president enters the stage,
They cheer each time he says something.
They cheer !

Why do they cheer?

America is the only country in the world (as far as I know) where people love their politicians.
In other (European) countries, people vote for the person they hate the least, or the person they disagree the least with.
Not the person they love !
And we definetly don't cheer !

And we don't spend millions and millions during the campaign...

I rest my case.
