The U.S. election is causing a stir worldwide

This year's election has been on everyone's radar, even those abroad. While Americans are only eligible to vote, our decision will impact the rest of the world. While some countries love the idea of Donald Trump being elected, others fear it, and many harbor the same feelings for Hillary Clinton.

Writer Shen Dingli, who writes for the Global Times in China, even expressed the embarrassment many American's also felt during the debates calling it an 'ugly sideshow'. Many countries have voiced their opinions by using signs on buses to encourage American's abroad to vote, while some have gone a less political route. A group of citizens in India voiced their opinion in another way by baking Trump a cake in honor of his birthday. Many have even preformed blessings and rituals sacred to their culture for the candidate of their choice.
