I 1984 landede en 17-årig dansk udvekslingsstudent i New York – og blev stormende forelsket i Guds eget land. Den 17-årige var David Trads, der senere brugte sin forelskelse i det amerikanske folk i sit arbejde som både forfatter og USA-kommentator.
Men nu er han i hjertesorg, og i sin nye bog “Amerika stiller uret tilbage” skriver han om at indse, at han hader Trump. For David Trads føler sig forrådt og afvist af USA.
Spørgsmålet er, om det USA, der har svigtet David Trads, eller om det i virkeligheden er David Trads, der i alt for mange år har set USA gennem et forelsket filter?
