" I'm not American but somehow the way the American president travels is slightly less offensive to me "
Depends. I lived in Dresden(Germany), while Obama visited the city. It was total madness for a day, with major roads closed etc.
But it probably was only half on US orders, but on local politicians who wanted to impress the "yes we can" president.
Who cares for the actual local residents, when theres great politics going on?
(in TV I only heard local people praise that day, but from people I met during the day, not so much)
- gambiting 6y agoSure, but that doesn't contradict my statement in any way. The way the american president travels can be both insane, and yet still "slightly less offensive" than a dude who flies around with 17 jumbo jets just for his luggage. At least the american president travels as big as he does because of all the security, armoured car etc - that dude travels that big because he absolutely must have a swimming pool aboard his plane and enough staff to serve his every need whever he goes.
