How would the media cover Trump's victory if America were a third-world country? (scroll.in)

This article was an attempted joke, but I don't see much difference between it and what more serious news articles claim :)


Coming from a third world country (Switzerland) i dont think it would be much different to now. Probably not as relevant tho.


I guess Switzerland is technically a third world country, but no-one uses the phrase to describe NATO allied status anymore. The OP means a developing country, which Switzerland isn't.


I just like to mock people who use third/first world without actually meaning it :)

But yeah my point is the same, Switzerland seems to be mostly shocked, dissapointed and loosing even more trust in the U.S. I doubt it would be much different in any case, just as it is now the U.S. is relevant enough that we _should_ care to some degree.
