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.

About Me
- Julia
- Thanks for coming to my blog. It started as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and now has become an ongoing project. I'm an American living in Germany and trying to travel whenever I can. I write about my experiences as an expatriate (the interesting ones and the embarrassing ones), and about my travels. There are some recurring characters in this blog, particularly my husband Brian and several of our friends. The title comes from the idea that living in a foreign country means making a lot of mistakes. So the things you used to do easily you now have to try over and over again. Hopefully, like me, you can laugh at how idiotic it feels. If you have happened upon my blog, then welcome. Knowing that people are reading what I write makes me keep going. Feel free to write comments or suggestions for future posts.
