United States President, Donald Trump spent his Saturday golfing with the President of Finland Alexander Stubb and some celebrities. Trump, in a post on

I just played a round of Golf with Alexander Stubb, President of Finland. He is a very good player, and we won the Men’s Member-Guest Golf Tournament at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, with the Legendary Gary Player, Senator Lindsey Graham, and former Congressman and highly successful Television Host, Trey Gowdy.

“President Stubb and I look forward to strengthening the partnership between the United States and Finland, and that includes the purchase and development of a large number of badly needed Icebreakers for the U.S., delivering Peace and International Security for our Countries, and the World.

“President Stubb told me, in the most powerful of words, that the United States is STRONG, and BACK, AGAIN. I AGREE!” Trump wrote.

      I’ve been telling people Finland isn’t the fucking perfect place people think it is.

      We’re honestly alarmingly authoritarian and most finns have issues questioning authority.

      Just ask kusimulkku@lemm.ee

          Finland is pretty fking racist.

          Using the n-word won’t get you into trouble as easily as calling someone out for using it. Has been my experience, at least.

          Once an old lady I was driving home from the shops (as a taxi driver) genuinely got furious at me for just refusing to use the word (she was complaining about immigrant taxi drivers, ie my then colleagues). I didn’t even criticise her use directly, I just said I won’t use such language because I think it’s racist and dehumanising and she got mad and started yelling how “you call them what they are!”. Her husband was in the car as well. Just stayed silent.

          So whole economically were pretty lefties especially compared to the US, politically less so.

          I would love to move and live somewhere else for a few years but can’t afford it rn.
