What I really struggle with is just how much more of this guy we have to put up with.
Even after he's gone, he's poisoned the GOP, quickly distilling them down to MAGA sycophants; barely a backbone between them. Real conservative politics has been deselected, slaughtered to make room for this faux-Christian xenophobic TradChad tribalism.
He's harming traditional Democrat policy too. Left-leaning people are easily pulled to the extreme when they see people being attacked in the streets and unnecessary wars in their name.
The rest of the world is tired. We don't understand why we're paying more for everything because this delinquent US government has started yet another fuel war. We just want stability and Trump isn't it.

Things could get realy bad as the US admin is attracting the most fauning, syncofantic, grifter, psychopaths the world has ever known, attracting, enabling, and becoming dependent on. We are talking true psycopaths here, those who have no morality or sense of right or wrong, but very strong ego's. The real danger is from within the US, and from a very small dependent state, varrios alligned nations have absolutly no choice in stepping back as comminication chanels are just blaring threats and incomprehnsable noise, all to try and salvage the petrodollar, for which there is no hope, none. $200 oil will be the final push that see's Chinas solar PV production behemouth go into high gear at full industrial scale and show proffit at prices that oil can never compete with as primary energy. China can litteraly take a nap, wake up a little bit, roll over, mumble "tell me when it's over", and relax, and everybody else is seeing that this is also, not there
