He purchased a shit ton of land there and the locals didn't like it a few years ago. I'm not up to date on what's going on now but I did want to share that he had some fuckass picture of himself with a phat ass paddleboarding slathered in sunscreen that was lightly memed although it didn't catch on, and the theory was that he did it so that when you google Zuckerberg Hawai'i that picture would show up instead of his land grab. Thought that was interesting.

The 'response from overseas' comes from a decade of watching trump politics gain favour in the US. Massive rallies about making America great again, and taking your country back rhetorics, even after all the Epstein stuff came about, the religion of trump flourished in America.

Sure, you can claim that he's a dictator now. But only because americans have allowed him to become one. That's why the overall sentiment from the rest of the world is negative. Americans made this monster, and now it's the world that has to deal with his bullshit.

That's not to say america wasn't already fucking everyone else over, that's the American way and has been happening since they discovered stars and put them on fabric. But Trump has exacerbated that issue, and the American people are complicit for supporting the growth of such a monster; it's fresh to Americans, because now even the American people are on the receiving end. But for the rest of us, this is the same story just worse.

I'm not saying this applies to you personally btw, I'm just trying to share the honest sentiment around Americans as a whole. There will undoubtedly be exceptions to the rule, but from an overseas perspective, there's been nowhere near enough.
