Twitter is currently filling with American trolls trying to ragebait Europeans by constantly repeating that European fans visiting the US for the World Cup are 'stunned' by 'the wealth' they see in the US.
They're obviously not convincing a single European, so who are they trying tot convince?

I've seen this happen so many times in Mexico. Corrupt governor hires buddy to do public work, exceeds budget, the result is completely useless and years later we discover that 90% of the money disappeared without a trace.
Congratulations, Trump, you're basically the American Peña Nieto now.
Trump destroyed the US' reputation in the world, alienated all its allies, lost a war against Iran, abruptly ended a period of unprecedented economic prosperity in the US, demolished US soft power and accelerated China's rise.
Say what you will, but he was definitely a 'consequential' president.
Coming to theaters near you!
Q.E.D.
My dog just made a sound I can only describe as yawning, screaming, laughing, barking, whininh and growling at the same time.
This is the political equivalent of a football manager saying he has the full confidence of the board two days before he's unceremoniously sacked after another 0-5 home defeat.
You, the political analysts who said Trump 'was stronger on foreign policy than Kamala Harris'.
Step into my office, I'd like a word.
The world is learning what the Dutch already knew for a very long time: Rafael van der Vaart is an idiot.
People like Bret Stephens are the real problem. They pretend to abhor Trump, but when the moment came to put their money where there mouth is, they 'supported the mission' in Iran. They lament democratic backsliding, but worship the ground Elon Musk walks on.
