World Reacts to Trump

As I spent time abroad over the past few months in the lead-up to the American presidential election, I was struck by how often news and politics from back home seemed to be on the minds of all the locals I met. It’s like no matter how far away I went, it was impossible to escape! On this episode I reflect on how important what happens in the United States is to people the rest of the world, and we hear from people in Poland, Haiti, Lebanon, Iran, India, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico, and Uganda about what the election of Donald Trump means to them.

If you want to learn more about the work of Frank Mugisha’s organization, visit the webpage of Sexual Minorities Uganda. And be sure to check out The Europeans, the weekly podcast that Wojciech Oleksiak from Poland helps produce. It’s a great way to keep informed on all the important news happening around the European continent, and I always have the latest episode in my personal podcast queue.
