Wonder what else these countries have in common?

Cold climate and protestant work ethic. When you can't lay in the hammock waiting for a mango to drop in your mouth but need to hunt for bears in the forest in -390 DegC and twenty feet of snow, it improves the IQ through natural selection. Or used to, until they invented central heating.

The leader of the free world,very scary!

His redneck white KKK base must be wetting themselves with all this hate he spews.

So its Rednecks and KKK. You have to be a liberal with stock in CNN. How's it feel knowing your investment is tanking. The leader of the free world currently has done more for the good of the American people than any president prior. Record job growth, record employment, record stock growth, and yet you spew the fake news rhetoric of a Anti-American Democrat. More than likely your from Europe or UK and are jealous of Americans.
