While the students were in Iceland and Ireland, they were split into groups and assigned cities we stopped in. From there, students talked to people about their opinions on American politics and Donald Trump as president of the United States. 

The video features responses from a handful of Irish people from all throughout the country.

Below, you’ll find a Q&A of other responses.

Q: What is your opinion on Donald Trump as President?

Ronan Daughtry, 22, of Dublin: I think he’s dandy. I really like him. I think he has good policies. He’s no nonsense. I didn’t know him before he was elected. Genuinely I had never heard of him before. I think he was in WWE or something. I’ve seen all his towers in New York actually.

“I think he’s dandy.”

Q: Since President Trump took office, has your opinion changed?

Cayla Jean Asvestas, 23, of Reykjavik, Iceland (formerly of Akron, Ohio): I feel bad. I feel like [the U.S.] is going backwards and it is really embarrassing. When he became president, especially living here, the next day I went into work and everybody is like, ‘I’m so sorry’ as if it was a loss. It was terrible and I think that we are going backwards on a lot of things like women’s rights which is really scary.

Q: Does his presidency make you happier to live outside of the U.S. now?

CJA: It does in a sense. For example, we do not have gun-slinging Americans. I am not sure how to explain it. The one thing about living [in Iceland] is the women’s rights are just so, so nice here. So, you never have to worry about discrimination…in the workplace. If it ever happens, it is a serious crime and it will be taken seriously. So, looking back at the States, I think it is quite backwards in a sense — not horribly, but it could use improvement.

Q: What does your family back in America think of Trump?

CJA: It is horrible, they are all trump supporters and it is crazy. I think it is also a slap in the face because I live in a foreign country and I am with a foreigner so to me, how is that fair to him? You know they are not thinking of him maybe having problems coming to the States because of [Trump] cracking down on immigration. It is a huge slap in the face to me. I cannot believe that my family would support such an imbecile. It is crazy. My dad bought a gun — like, we don’t lock our doors and all of the sudden, he has a gun and here you don’t even own guns. We have like, no crime and we work without guns — society works. I do not understand it at all.

Q: What are your thoughts on Donald Trump as President?

Gavin Maher, 24, of Dublin: I just think it’s another excuse for Americans to kind of give out about not getting whatever it is they want. I don’t think he’s going to have an effect on their life. If they want to go and be an entrepreneur, have a successful career, then go and do it. Stop looking for excuses. Realistically, the presidency’s not going to have that much of an effect on the individual.

Q: Did you follow the election?

GM: I didn’t really pay much attention to him when he came into the election. It was more of the kind of media stuff [on] Facebook, hearing him talk about women and the discrimination against women. Obviously, it’s unacceptable, but you guys voted him in. Obviously Europe thinks it’s ridiculous, and being real, we think it’s kind of laughable that you’d vote someone like that in. It just shows how easily manipulated people are.

Q: What are your opinions on Donald Trump?

Nathan Villa, 31, of Belfast: He’s a bit of an idiot–from what I’ve seen anyway.

Q: Have your views of America changed since he was elected President?

NV: Not really, no. My views are still pretty much the same.

“He’s a bit of an idiot–from what I’ve seen anyway.”

Q: What was your reaction when Trump was elected six months ago?

Samuel Hydzik, 17, of Galway: I was kind of excited for a comedy show. Honestly, that was my reaction to it.

Q: Have your views of America changed since he got elected?

SH: I feel like if I’d go to America now, I feel like racism is sort of more accepted now. And it’s like when you elected the racist president, racist people will open their mouths more. That’s how it seems to me.
