    CNN — While many communities around the world have been wondering what
    to make of Donald Trump’s presidential re-election, a village on the
    Italian island of Sardinia has sniffed a potential opportunity.

    Like many other places in rural Italy, Ollolai has long been trying to
    persuade outsiders to move in to revive its fortunes after decades of depopulation. It’s been selling dilapidated houses for as little as one
    euro — just over a dollar — to sweeten the deal.

    Now, following the November 5 vote outcome, it’s launched a website
    aimed at would-be American expats, offering up more cheap homes in the
    hope that those upset by the result will rush to snap up one of its
    empty properties.

    “Are you worned (sic) out by global politics? Looking to embrace a more balanced lifestyle while securing new opportunities?” the website asks. “It’s time to start building your European escape in the stunning
    paradise of Sardinia.”

    Very nice. Maybe PerSu expats can move there too? I'll pay €2.
