As an American this makes me sad. I understand your feelings and actions, but it still makes me sad. I don't think my feeling this way is your fault though.

As an American this makes me sad. I understand your feelings and actions, but it still makes me sad. I don't think my feeling this way is your fault though. The only thing I can think of to say is that Trump and Trump's actions are "not in my name". Because I believe in kindness it is hard for me to condemn those who voted for him without realizing the extent of what he would actually do, but I personally did not vote for the man nor support his policy or administration. In some ways it is quite strange that we are told that "we have to support the president" because he won the election. I will say I wasn't super happy with our choices this time around in general. So I'm living in a country doing what I can not to allow one president and one administration's policies to tarnish our relationships with other countries and each other, but it still makes me sad to see you feel the way you do. Again, I understand though. Just remember, like good people in the US recognize that there are good people in every other country (all the time, even during tough times), we still have good people too.
