Same on my country have to realise that Trump only cares about America he doesn't give a shit about Greece (and it's normal) but same here believe he is our friend while he is ready to give half the Aegean in turkey so to have them in his side in all this Greenland and Ukraine situation

As an American living in Greece, I have to say that most people seem to (rightfully) hate him here. The moment someone finds out I'm from the US, the first question they ask is, "what are your thoughts on Trump?" Of course, I despise him, so it's never an issue. With that said, the sole exception to this seems to be taxi drivers. In the past year, I've taken taxis maybe 5 or 6 times. Of those trips, all but one of the taxi drivers expressed their love for Trump. A few have told me that they think that he is going to not only fix the problems in the United States, but the entire world. Their argument always seems to boil down to: "he has a lot of money, so he must be smart" and "his wife is attractive, so I like him".

Taxi drivers were massive voters of Golden Dawn some years ago. They even surpassed the police men.

You're wrong. The taxi drivers are a mirror of Greek folk opinion. What you hear them tell you, that's what most Greeks think. The "most people seem to hate him", this is an opinion from your circle and you do not get an unfiltered result out of that.

That's certainly possible. However, it's not just my circle. I have people ask where I'm from all of the time (as my accent when speaking Greek is not always perfect). This happens at restaurants, bookstores, the laiki, etc. Once I tell them that I'm from the US, the conversation immediately turns to Trump. This happens to me almost every time I leave the apartment. However, I live in Athens, so perhaps it's different elsewhere.

Well, what do you think is different about the taxi drivers? They're just regular Greeks like the rest of us. So why them and not anyone else? It's not like this job position comes with certain political beliefs as a prerequisite.

Malaka. Is Trump trying to buy Greece or something? I hope not we may have our differences with our Greek neighbours but I wouldn't wish American occupation on them. Also didn't America already do enough damage to Greece back in the 20 century? Or am I remembering my geohistory incorrectly?

This fustanella in the video falls below the knee. The version the Greeks adopted in the 19th century thanks to King Otto of Bavaria, so they could have their own national costume too, was worn above the knee. Please remain objective and refrain from personal insults. I encourage you to verify the information I have provided through independent research. Please consult neutral, international academic sources or historical records rather than relying solely on Greek or Albanian media to ensure a balanced perspective.

What gave you the idea that I would insult you in any way. Seems there is a bit of pregidice of your side don't you think?😂 According to certain papers published on JSTOR and oxford library the origin of fustanella is debated it could have Illyrian, Celtic, and Roman to Greek origins alike I would recommend judging people on their actions and not your personal opinion as it could be biased by certain narratives. 😉

Big_Kiwi348@reddit

american market is too huge and foreign companies cannot risk losing that market, so they are forced to manufacture in the states to avoid tarifs. big countries do it all the time but it is bad now, because trump does it. europe does it all the time to protect for example their agricultural sector or more likely their car manufacturing. dont you find it weird that in the eu you dont see chinese or american cars? this is called protectionism and it is an economic way of thought that it is very beneficial for big markets. yes serbia if it does sometjing like that will not benefit anytning but the eu or the us? its a fine leverage.
