Strange breed

I had heard about them. I had seen them on TV.  I knew a little about their behaviors and their habitats. But I had never encountered this species in the wild.

When we arrived in the U.S., I met my first Trump supporters.

I've had Germans ask me - bewildered - about what is going on in my country. Why would people actually support this clown and could he really win? I don't quite know what to say. North America has a very diverse ecosystem and a lot of wild critters. There is a strange breed out there, armed with yard signs and ready to build walls. They are united by their positions on... I am not sure exactly. Wall-building?

I got to come home to Hannover and say I had seen them. Trump supporters. Individually and in herds. A rare breed, but surprisingly strong. I'm not sure how they reproduce since most of them are male.
