For more than thirty years I have observed that most Americans become extremely agitated and hostile to 'any' criticism of their beloved country, no matter how constructive, reasoned by facts or deserved.
This is the one national character attribute that completely nullifies and weakens the very serious concerns and the existential threat to USA and all other democratic developed nations that Donald Trump poses from very severe criticism by many "foreign" world leaders that normally should cause US citizens to additionally contemplate the catastrophic "global" consequences of not rejecting this wannabe tyrant.
