Call it the syndrome of vox.com - there was this article about how Bernie's trade protectionism will have a "price" of depriving millions of third world countries' citizens of chances to develop and escape poverty.

I blinked twice or trice to see if they were not joking. But no - they were seriously thinking that some other's country citizens' problems should be considered equal to the US citizen ones by the President of US. I agree that all people are equal, but elected officials/statesmen should always consider their constituents couple of orders of magnitude more equal than the rest of the people.

The people right now want a real statesmen like Bismarck:

"The whole of the Balkans is not worth the bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier."

The US and British (and a lot others) working and lower middle classes want to hear that they are more important to their own government than the foreigners.

And Trump and Brexiters are the only ones that give that message. So was Sanders while campaigning.
