Trump need's to learn he has changed your international name from America to.. "the fucking yanks"


The BIG OE is like a rite of passage thing in NZ, Gap year in the UK

And I think that will be the problem, people from decent countries don't want to go to the USA, too much gun crime, crazy leader, over the top entry security. Certainly not a country your kids go to work and the parents sleep well at night.
Why do you assume New Zealanders would want to move to America, under any President?
