Watching POTUS in London

In two weeks I will be joining RM in Philly for a trip to Washington DC. There,
we would be meeting Saul de Vries, the new Philippine labor attaché. I am glad I'd be going to the nation's capital while President Obama is still in the White House. President Obama is the only president I voted for. I never really voted for any Philippine president because no one appealed to me. 
I am having the same feelings I had in the Philippine for presidential elections. I am voting for Senator Bernie Sanders in the primaries. He is not going to be the Democratic nominee but vote is an ideological expression. After the California primaries in June, it doesn't matter who is going to be my adopted country's president. And yes I am getting less scared on Donald Trump becoming the next US president. 
As I watched President Obama being asked by a reporter if it is any of his business to tell the British people that UK  is better off staying in the European Union circle, I wondered how Donald Trump would handle such a blunt question. The president simply shrugged off the question as if dealing with a teenager throwing a fit. I also wonder if Donald Trump would even get close to visiting a country in the Gulf Region, much less, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
