Damn, it feels like that Albanian people can’t get a break. They just got out of the grip of communism less than 40 years ago yet they are still dealing with nonstop government issue, mostly corruption, corruption corruption.

Who advices this PM?

It's not just the antisemitism. It's the entire public image and question of his mental health. At best this is a short term gain with a HUGE long term PR and advertiser loss. Protesting the Trump Hotel was the smart move. This is beyond stupidity.
