  • Spot on.

    Yes, I definitely see the comparison of Trump and H8. As an American who truly gets it, sad to see there are Trump supporters here downvoting the show because of an opinion. This show is always informative and interesting. Please don’t base your reviews on your love of the American embarrassment that is sadly the “leader.”
