Way too easy, I think.  Most likely the idiot Trump.

But that wasn't a question about somewhere else on the planet, that was an 
anti-Donald statement, right?

Actually, Dirk is most likely correct, when he stated 'average Americans".  Too 
many don't think of anything outside the things affecting them.

I try to get on BBC News web site every day, and frankly, it's depressing reading.

In the past, when my son got irritated with a GF, he'd ask her "what continent 
is Europe on?"  Sad thing is, she never learned, after being asked dozens of 
times.  Just didn't care.  Also had as many votes as anyone else.
