I was waiting for a friend in a bar when Donald Trump was convicted on all counts by a jury of his peers. Naturally, I bought the bartender a shot to celebrate – and, of course, I mentioned it on social media.
That didn’t make someone I know happy. “It’s a shame that people rejoice when a former president gets convicted. The world is laughing at us, Biden is a clown!” they wrote. “Why do you care what happens here. You live in France. You have no idea what we are going through. Gas prices, food prices, crime, 100,000 people a year dying from fentanyl, inflation. If you dislike our country, renounce your citizenship.”
