I restarted this blog in December because I had a health scare while on a business trip to the USA. It wasn’t dramatic enough to make headlines, but it was dramatic enough to serve as a wake-up call for me and my unhealthy lifestyle choices. I was forced to be brutally honest with myself and reconsider my lifestyle choices.
I had hemmed and hawed about this trip to the States – given the increasing instability at that time, I knew there were risks. But I went anyway – out of loyalty to my team, and a sense of duty. My manager had fought long and hard to get our globally distributed team in the same room. I hadn’t even met two of them in person before. At the same time, I hadn’t complained earlier in the year when a business trip to Miami afforded me the opportunity to visit DisneyWorld in Orlando for the first time, so I felt obliged.
At the end of that week we talked about the next time we’d all meet, hopefully in 2026, maybe another team meeting in the US, or at our regular annual US sales conference.
That was before the current regime accelerated its apparent plan to destroy the US entirely.
Now, literally just a few weeks later, I can say with absolute certainty: I will not be travelling to the United States in 2026 or the foreseeable future. Not for work. Not for a conference. Not even for to visit the new Universal Epic Universe park in Florida! Wild horses couold not drag me over the pond.
Because the country I visited in December is not the country I’m watching now.
The escalation of violence, the political instability, and the fraying rule of law are no longer abstract. Watching events unfold from across the Atlantic is like watching a car wreck—everything appears to be happening in slow motion, while in reality, it is moving way too fast.
Innocent civilians are being shot in the streets and dragged from their homes. Meanwhile, their ‘glorious leader’ stumbles from one diplomatic crisis to another—starting wars over oil and threatening global stability with nonsensical sabre-rattling over Greenland.
There is now increasing evidence that Trump is not just a convicted felon, but is a pedophile protector – or worse, an active participant in the most diabolical child-trafficking ring in history. Potentially even an accessory to infanticide. It also seems increasingly likely that he is a Russian “asset”, turned by threats to release the truth about his crimes. The administration’s continued efforts to repress the Epstein files point strongly toward a desperate cover-up.
Unless the current leadership is removed from power—whether through constitutional, medical, or psychiatric means—I’m not setting foot in the U.S. again. I’m not risking my safety for a country that is sliding into chaos and determined to drag the rest of us down with it.
It’s not just a rogue administration at fault; Americans en masse must take responsibility. Trump did not gain power purely by brainwashing millions of ignorant citizens; he weaponized a cultural divide that has been festering for decades. This wasn’t a MAGA landslide; it was a victory fueled by voter apathy – with one-third of the electorate failing to get to the polls to prevent this. Even those who voted against him need to ask themselves: ‘Did I do enough?’
This isn’t hyperbole or melodrama. This is the same blunt honesty that’s driven my weight‑loss journey: look at the data, look at the patterns, look at the reality in front of you, and stop pretending things are fine when they clearly aren’t.
For any reading this who feels even slightly offended by the content of this post, remember that offense can only ever be taken, never given. And if you feel personally affronted, then I positively encourage you to unfollow and crawl back into the hole you came from. Trump’s butthole! 😂🤣😂
