It seems the USA was the big enchilada, the top prize, after populating the bottom shelf of their trophy wall with Latvia, Trinidad and Nigeria, then the UK above that.

It isn't "just politics" - people can die over crap like this. How'd you like to be an ethnic Russian living in Latvia when this guy decides demonizing your entire cohort would be a good way to "influence voting behavior?"

Ask any Hispanic in the US.
