It certainly hasn't happened the other way around, well it has a bit, but to a much lesser extent.
The real problem is that American politics have never offered choice, they don't work that way. If however, Trump came in after Bush Jnr. I'm sure they would be a whole lot less furor about him. Let's be honest, it was only because Obama was a complete sociopath that the minority of people won't except Trump, it certainly wasn't because of Obama's politics, because most Americans have learned to despise those because they were all based on lies.

Both have achieved notable political achievements without full backing from their nation's mainstream news sources. Fox News wasn't a firm Trump backer until the nomination had been achieved. The BBC don't like Corbyn and even the Guardian have some major reservations about him. Instead, both have utilised the online world to spread their rather retro political message.
Trump is not a leader. He's a wealthy man who employs people. That's not leadership in my view.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
God, it's so depressing to step back and look at the political landscape and personalities. Bleurgh.
Not quite related, but I heard this somewhere, maybe on a tech program...
Apparently if you look at the meta data for The Orange One's tweets, the more "measured" ones seem to be posted from an iPhone, and the more off-the-cuff "Donald-Style" ones come from an Android device. So there is probably someone else at least partly posting for him.
(I don't know how to verify this claim, but I'm sure some of the techies here can if they're interested.)

Although to be fair, this sort of stuff happens every week in Sweden these days, it was just unfortunate that Trump lucked out with the wrong day.
Actually - the article makes no suggestion at all that the rioters were immigrants. For all we know, every one of them could have been blonde haired blue-eyed and white.
