Aaaanyhoo.... back on topic.

I see that Kuwait has stopped issuing visas for five majority Muslim countries, including Pakistan. Racists and Nazis? Can we expect some outraged protesters outside the Kuwaiti embassy today, or is the issue just with Trump? Interestingly, there's no word of the Kuwaiti ban in mainstream media. Funny that.

From my point of view, I think the problem people have with Trump (and why it's not publicised as much as the example you gave) is because he's a leader of a Western country, like the UK, like Ireland, like Australia etc etc So, it feels like he's speaking for us in a way, as a western society. It's like everytime there's a terror attack in a Western country or not even a terror attack any type of disaster or tragedy, it's publicised much more in our media because it feels more relate-able, we're not part of the same country but it would be silly to suggest that western countries don't share a commonality and feel some sort of kinship towards eachother. He in a way represents us as in the Wests way of life
