Our drugs don't transit by the US, neither do our immigrants, and we don't give a good goddamn about Mexican farms. Why should we?
The bottom line is while the US' foreign policy (and I count its stances on international trade and finance in that) does matter to us, the impact of what they do within their borders is much more marginal unless we're executives in a big multinational company, which is a tiny fraction of our population.
Once in a while, the US leaves a big mark on the world economy. Like in the 2008 subprime crisis. But for matters like that... are we really supposed to care who's in the White House?
