Resurrecting the Ugly American

Mr. Editor,

The iconic book, The Ugly American, published in 1958 became popularized such that Google defines the expression as “a stereotype depicting American citizens as arbitrary, loud, arrogant, self-absorbed, demeaning, thoughtless, ignorant and ethnocentric”. It seems high time to resurrect this expression with reference to Donald Trump.

Sincerely,

Mark Palmer, Meaford
