What's to explain? Trump is Trump and with every passing day he proves himself to be a national embarrassment that is ours to own for as long as he's in office. We put him in charge and he's a reflection of who we've become: the quintessential Ugly American. Whatever derision is heaped on American travelers abroad because of Trump is well-earned, which is why I won't be travelling abroad as long as he's POTUS - I don't want to put in the position of having to explain Trump to anybody.
