Hans probed further: “Well, I think Biden is doing a solid job. The economy is strong. He is holding alliances like Nato together. And he is helping the Ukraine to stand up to Putin. And Trump was simply a disaster.”
Nancy cringed, but tried not to show it. Maria was in full agreement, but smiled discreetly. Jack, no fan of Trump, responded: “Well, maybe Trump is a risk, but he did raise three really important issues: our southern border, the mission of Nato three decades after the end of the Cold War, and China eating our lunch in trade.”
Which led Hans to say: “Yes, of course, those are three big issues which need to be discussed. But the guy is a criminal. I mean, he might end up in jail.”
Hans went into several current hot-button topics in American politics. He was proud to show how well informed he was.
As he did Nancy began to focus in on Hans. Maria, with her Latin American background, liked what Hans had to say, even if he was a bit too direct. Jack listened carefully.
