I don’t mind talking politics with foreigners — and only to explain the situation here. Most people abroad despise Trump anyways so that’s not an issue.

Last summer was interesting — we stayed in Paris where the owner and I got speaking and ended up on Trump, and somehow he mentioned he spent time in the UK, and how he personally knew Nigel Farage at one point. He mentioned he was just a terrible person.

I’d probably avoid talking politics with other Americans though. As you said, I prefer taking in the food and culture of the place I’m in, and not spend that time worrying about the hellscape that orange menace is trying to create back home.
