Examples

“Skratka, za Ameriko in svet nikakor ni vseeno, kdo bo zmagal 5. novembra. Pri tem se zdi, da tak klovnovsko-jokerski tip, tak notorični lažnivec, šarlatan, skorumpiranec, nadlegovalec žensk, človek v sto sodnih procesih, lažni veliki poslovnež (vse bogastvo je podedoval) ne bi mogel postati prvi politik nikjer v Uniji, tudi v Sloveniji ne. Če ga kljub temu voli pol Američanov, to pomeni, da je družba vržena iz tira.”

In short, America and the world are in no way indifferent to who wins on November 5th. It seems that such a clown-joker type, such a notorious liar, charlatan, corrupt person, harasser of women, a man in a hundred lawsuits, a fake big businessman (he inherited all his wealth) could not become the first politician anywhere in the Union, not even in Slovenia. If half of Americans vote for him, it means that society has been thrown off track.
